[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 388 bytes --]

Hello!

I packaged this to help rename a bunch of patches.

It installs an executable called 'rename' which conflicts with the
(limited) one in util-linux, due to the latter being part of
%base-packages.

Are there preferences to either:

* Install this one as 'perl-rename'; or
* Drop the `rename` executable from util-linux.

If there are no comments I'll go with the conservative #1.

It looks like Debian uses this Perl rename instead of the one from
util-linux. So I'd be okay switching them. Do you have any idea if they
at all are compatible?

Is this conflict a hindrance in practice?

Either way is fine with me.  (At some point I’d like to avoid Perl
dependencies in %base-packages if possible, though.)

The util-linux change would be for ‘core-updates’, which maybe doesn’t
address your immediate needs.

util-linux also depends on Perl (not sure why).

Only if you have util-linux in the same profile.  And there is always
`guix environment --pure`, so not really.

Actually, I changed my mind and would like to keep it as-is for now.
The main problem is that the man page is not easily accessible, but that
turned out to be a different bug: <https://bugs.gnu.org/30014>.

Will push this later when I figure out a synopsis that does not upset
`guix lint` :)
