As the s3 tool is only a testing tool in the afflib package and that it's not essential to afflib users, I renamed the tool "s3-afflib" this morning in git: http://git.debian.org/?p=forensics/afflib.git;a=commitdiff;h=5b870b00b2c62dc94648178f0de1e9573cab60fa Anyway, I'm waiting comments from other debian-forensics members, if no one complains, it will be uploaded. Finally, I think that it's a good idea to change both utilities names because, one day or another, I suspect that a real "Amazon s3" tool could come up with the same name. And since tab completion exists, such a short name is not needed anymore :-) -- Christophe Monniez <christophe.monn...@fccu.be> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
