Maybe packagers use abbreviated names, often with underscores or simply no word separator. I think we should not follow what other packagers do, but rather what the _users_ expect. The full program name is much more certain to be known to the wider audience rather than some abbreviation that is only known to the set of developers / restricted community members. Guix follows Lisp's "hyphen-separated words" convention. I like it a lot and I believe it to be vastly superior since it give packages meaningful names. "crawl" matches both "crawl" and "dungeon-crawl-stone-soup". "dungeon crawl stone soup" does not match "crawl". At the end of the day, no need to restrict our wording if nothing forces us to ;) > Maybe it is good to add the abbreviation "DCSS" somewhere in the descript= ion tho? If DCSS is popular, why not. =2D-=20 Pierre Neidhardt https://ambrevar.xyz/ --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCAAdFiEEUPM+LlsMPZAEJKvom9z0l6S7zH8FAlyPcFIACgkQm9z0l6S7 zH8LuAf+KQb62Ya6TEHyqL8l4TmcNk1rS5vSeiwnsj9Xszsbr4dg4LUsjWu1AIm6 2U2pM/ZxryOJYLjvUTPiVM5RjnGy1BCygRvJW32En9mUoyIfztJIR0wt8gyg7iYg MDaGnJIWfiMno7yv/1lKoVGsu0QwJqxdVdYf+yg6tBdFtHe3z1Nwok9XZu4t6wH0 5oks5GuocdzZYoiqpzsPkiIfVBZoGASDYYlmevZOWLx0KKm8mZFk5nAuDbqSC+TE +47SnKFWzHzQIzlAevML1u85bL6FPKOUjCAiCNkZO4/CSG11E4bviqaU9EmHwBoS osRwTY71yUMyx4kgMpeGNpVsVC1++Q== =J/Xi -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
