Dear all, I know that there has already been much of talk about this, but I am am getting more and more uncomfortable removing .pl or .sh extensions from programs when upstream does not.
I use the packages I made, and renaming upstream programs names makes my scripts incompatible with my colleagues work environments using other distributions or installations from source. So as a maintainer, I spend time creating extra work for myself as a user. That does not make sense. Would it be possible to change our Policy and simply follow upstream choices? Good arguments can be given for not including extension in program names upstream, but in my opinion removing them before upstream creates more problems than it solves… Have a nice day, -- Charles Plessy Debian Med packaging team, http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-med Tsurumi, Kanagawa, Japan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
