About the rename of restore-trash in trash-cli package

[Andrea Francia]

Dear Fedora developers,
   I'm the upstream developer of trash-cli.
I saw in package announce[1] that you decided to change of restore-trash
into trash-restore.
I appreciate your work but in this case I'm not happy with one of the last
change.

I'm preparing [4] a program called trash-restore to be included in trash-cli
that would behave in a different way that restore-trash. So your decision
could cause me problems.

 I'd better liked if this type of change will be discussed with me before to
be implemented in a so famous distribution.

In the time that was published it was using these command names:
 - trash (for trashing a file)
 - empty-trash (for empty the trashcan)
 - list-trash (for listing the contents of the trashcan)
 - restore-trash (for put back a trashed file)

I was happy about my command name choice as the packagers of Debian and
Ubuntu were. So they packaged my application for those distributions.

Instead, during the first packaging for Fedora, some problems happen. The
name 'trash' wasn't accepted by the package reviewer so after a long
discussion (see [2], and [3]) and I end up to change the names into:
trash-put, trash-empty, trash-list. But I left alone restore-trash for
reserving trash-restore for future development as described in the wiki
[4].

All the trash-* are supposed to ben non interactive, the new trash-restore
will be but the old restore-trash is not.

Thank you
