Dear Sebastian, > Could you please call the Debian package fitsview or something like > that? It prevents namespace pollution and is much more obvious.
I feel that if a package provides essentially one program, it should carry its name. The tool fv is part of the FTOOLS package from HEASARC, and hence is sufficiently well-known among its user-base in the astronomy community. The authors actually provide binary packages for a number of platforms, and users expect to find this tool under the name fv. Renaming the program would create major confusion, as would choosing a different name for the package. If people need something obvious, they can always read the tagline and description, which contain the keywords FITS and view. Regards, Jens. -- J'qbpbe, le m'en fquz pe j'qbpbe!
