Renaming Fedora package: any preference on name? FocusTimer/focustimer/focus-timer?

[sanjayankur31]

Hi folks,

Thanks for the tool, it's really useful.

I've opened a rename request to move the gnome-pomodoro package to focustimer in Fedora now:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2487902

Does upstream have any preference on what it should be called?

• FocusTimer (as the git repo)
• focustimer (all lowercase, easier for people to install etc: dnf install focustimer vs dnf install FocusTimer)
• focus-timer (hyphenated)?

I've currently gone with focustimer, but can change that if upstream here has a preference.

Cheers,

Thank you @sanjayankur31 for raising the issue

My preference is focus-timer. My reasoning:

• it follows Fedora guidelines better. Quote:

  Package names SHOULD be in lower case and use dashes in preference to underscores ... When naming packages for Fedora, the maintainer MUST use the dash - as the delimiter for name parts.

• the package name in meson.build is focus-timer
• the binary name is focus-timer
• repo URL https://github.com/focustimerhq/focus-timer/ incidentally works - redirects to FocusTimer

That sounds good, thank you. I'll proceed with focus-timer.
