Details

With the name-change of upstream, that was mentioned here: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/73129?project=5&string=gnome-passwordsafe, I would prefer to also change the name of the Arch package to 'secrets' or 'gnome-secrets'.

Why would this be a good idea?

1. Currently for a new user it's just not to find via pacman,

pacman -Ss secrets

Just doesn't print out anything related. So the only way to find secrets is to know the history of the project.

2. The binary name is "secrets", the git-repo-name is "secrets" and the App-identifier is "org.gnome.World.Secrets".


Why would it be bad?

As nothing depends on it, it would not create conflicts. We tried to rename 2 month back in the gnome unstable (fcgu) repo without any problems. Given the small user base of it, that doesn't say much, though.


Secrets or gnome-secrets?
Because the binary name is secrets I would prefer the package to be secrets as well, but that's only me. :)
