[gentoo-dev] conflicting executable names

[Bob Phan]

What would the gentoo policy be to handle applications that want to use
the same executable name, but do not perform the same function and are
not interchangable.

For example, I wanted to quickly package up rename
(http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/utils/file/rename-1.1.tar.gz)

It is a slick little utility that allows you to rename a bunch of
files based on extended regexs (there's a review on www.unixreview.com).

Anyway, the executable it creates is named 'rename' which conflicts with
rename from sys-apps/util-linux.  How should this be treated?  For the
moment, I'm just calling it Rename.
