What's unclear about it? How could it be made more clear? When I read |
| 6 |
it, it seems fairly obvious -- it's mentioned in multiple sections how |
| 7 |
the naming scheme works. OTOH, I wrote it so it ought to be obvious. |

The goal is making it easy to find tools, scan the list of tools and run |
| 15 |
the desired tool. Why go halfway and have two separate prefixes (config- |
| 16 |
and update-)? |

As for the second part, clearly that particular tool is _not_ |
| 19 |
Gentoo-specific, and as such, should not be on the list of things to be |
| 20 |
renamed. =) Mea culpa. However it would be helpful if the upstream |
| 21 |
maintainer (you in this case) chose to rename it in a similar fashion |
| 22 |
(i.e., config-webapp) and provided a Gentoo compatibility symlink at |
| 23 |
gentoo-config-webapp in the ebuild. |
