coveralls script created by cpp-coveralls shadows the one from the coveralls package

Open astrofrog opened this issue 10 years ago • 2 comments

We use both the cpp-coveralls and coveralls packages for the Astropy project (http://www.astropy.org). However, both install a script named coveralls, which is confusing because they both accept different options. This leads to issues if cpp-coveralls is installed after coveralls because the coveralls command then hides the 'real' coveralls command.

Is there a reason why you need to install both coveralls and cpp-coveralls as entry points? Why not just cpp-coveralls?

You can refer to https://github.com/eddyxu/cpp-coveralls/issues/94 as a remedy.

It would be hard to rename the executable now, as many projects already using either form..

Maybe we can depreciate the actual name, make it still works for a while with some warnings, and use another, like cpp-coverals ? :)
