Source: sextractor Version: 2.19.5+dfsg-7 Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-as...@lists.debian.org
Hi, there are some valid concerns about the name of the package, brought up by conda-forge: https://github.com/conda-forge/staged-recipes/pull/8764 A discussion on upstream's github didn't lead to a name change of the upstream package: https://github.com/astromatic/sextractor/issues/8 however this issue came up on a fork (by mistake): https://github.com/astrorama/sextractorxx/issues/136 and found now some attention on twitter: https://twitter.com/Sydonahi/status/1178829309168898053 I personally completely agree that the name is offending and should be changed. This should however happen in a coordinated way -- including conda-forge and Fedora (and ideally upstream as well). I made a comment on the conda-forge PR #8764. This issue is to have a discussion on Debian side about the topic. Note that we already renamed the executable name from "sex" to "sextractor", which is something upstream would also agree. The issue is to rename sextractor to source-extractor (or similar). Best regards Ole
