--- Comment #5 from Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Buovjaga from comment #4) > Why should it change? Because: 1. LibreOffice is not StarOffice, and that executable name is the name of the staroffice executable. 2. It is not the executable users expect I: When it's in the path, the actual program name will not execute anything, and if you try tab-command completion on a terminal, that will probably fail too, since you would say `lib` or `l` and press tab to find what the name is. 3. It is not the executable users expect II: Users may miss it when listing the running processes. Now, granted, none of this is critical. But still, If it weren't for StarOffice, we would have just called our executable `libreoffice` or `loffice`. > Changing it would break a lot of documentation and scripts. Well, while we say our executable is soffice.bin, then of course documentation and scripts rely on that. If we change it, they will change. We could do this gradually, with, say, a symlink in the old location for a couple of years while we advise people to stop using the old name. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
