Thanks. I felt this implicitly, and now I get it straight from you. > actually, i should rename it from nilfs2-tools to nilfs-tools. > unfortunately, in debian we have a quite stupid thing called NEW queue > which make such a simple rename have a penalty of 4 to 8 weeks of > waiting until ftp-masters unblock it. but i still might do that at some > point (unless Ryusuke dislikes it ;). Well, I don't mind either. I'm accountable for part of the confusion especially for the version number ;) "nilfs-tools" sounds simpler. Umm, actually it would be better in the long term because the nilfs package already has versions related to the filesystem version (e.g. -2.x.y). At least I don't have any reason to object to the rename. I just realized that ocfs2-tools package has versions 1.x.y.
