Renommage du logiciel en "Frontières"

Pour information, j'ai envoyé un courriel au développeur originel hier dont voici une copie :

Hi Christopher,

Since you didn't answer to my previous message (about Borderlands and LibraZiK) back in December 2016, I kind of assume that you're not working anymore on Borderlands. Please, let me know if this is a wrong assumption.

We (3 persons from the French linux audio community called "linuxmao.org") have started a fork of Borderlands to integrate some improvements of us which consist so far in:

  • added manpages (English and French),
  • added a menu item file,
  • updated rtaudio libraries,
  • possibility to start the software other than in 44.1 kHz,
  • adding a patch to check for the samples in different locations (a user location, and a system location),
  • added a translation system (gettext),
  • added a French translation,
  • use of cmake as a construction system.

You can find this fork here : https://github.com/jpcima/Borderlands (jpcima is copied to this email) This fork is based on the 0.4 GNU-GPL-3 version available on your website.

We are planning to continue further development and we'd like to check with you how do you feel with that.

We've got 2 questions here:

  • it does look that you're not developing it actively since 2015, are you planning to develop it later?
  • are you fine with us keeping the same name ("Borderlands") or would you prefer us to take another name?
  • if you're fine with us keeping the same name, what if we'd like to publish a 0.5 version?
  • would you like to work on it as a team with us?

Hope you'll answer to this email.

Anyway, thanks for providing Borderlands which is such a funny and uncommon sampler! (my niece liked play with it a few days ago!)

Sincerely, Olivier

Puisque @jpcima enchaîne les commits et que j'enchaîne les demandes de fonctionnalité, et étant donné que le logiciel amont non-libre est commercialisé, il est probablement souhaitable de ne pas réutiliser le même nom pour cette reprise.

Cette reprise de Borderlands va donc être nommée "Frontières", lui donnant au passage un côté "french touch" :smile:

Liste des tâches à faire :

  • [x] renommer le dépôt
  • [x] renommer le titre au lancement du logiciel
  • [x] renommer dans de code-source si besoin
  • [x] renommer dans les docs si besoin
  • [ ] publier une version 0.4.1
