OK, current names of tools I think should be config-*: |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
x11-base/opengl-update -> config-opengl |
| 11 |
distcc-config -> config-distcc |
| 12 |
config-kernel |
| 13 |
app-admin/zope-config -> config-zope |
| 14 |
app-sci/blas-config -> config-blas |
| 15 |
dev-java/java-config -> config-java |
| 16 |
dev-ruby/ruby-config -> config-ruby |
| 17 |
net-www/webapp-config -> config-webapp |
| 18 |
sys-devel/cc-config -> config-cc |
| 19 |
sys-devel/gcc-config -> config-gcc |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
While I'm at it, any *-update{,r} scripts that aren't related to |
| 22 |
configuration can be renamed to update-*: |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
modules-update -> update-modules |
| 25 |
env-update -> update-env |
| 26 |
python-updater -> update-python |
| 27 |
etc-update -> update-etc |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
I realize the update-env and update-etc are fairly major changes, but I |
| 30 |
feel a more consistent way to find Gentoo config and update tools is |
| 31 |
needed. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Finally, I was pondering a gentoo-* prefix on all of these, to ensure an |
| 34 |
even more consistent and easily findable set of tools. That way, |
| 35 |
`gentoo-<tab><tab>` would find every Gentoo tool. |
