Proposal: change executable name

Open tmtvl opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

To avoid conflicts with the text editor vis (https://github.com/martanne/vis), I propose changing the name of the executable to clivis, which happens to have a neat musical connotation: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/clivis

I think it's a good idea, I've been avoiding it since I think it will cause a lot of confusion at first. If you have any thoughts on how to minimize the confusion I'd be glad to hear them. Right now my approach would be to just have a big message on the install script that says the name has changed.

A good idea would be to put a message on the release notes for the first tag you release with the new name. And yeah, doing an echo of "the executable has been renamed to [NAME]" at the end of the install script would make sense for a while after updating the name.
