* Package name : elpa-casual Version : 1.5.0 Upstream Author : Charles Y. Choi <charles.choi@yummymelon.com> * URL or Web page : https://github.com/kickingvegas/Casual/ * License : GPL-3 Description : a transient-based porcelain for Emacs Calc Casual is an opinionated Transient-based porcelain to support the casual usage of Emacs Calc. While Emacs Calc has an embarrassingly rich feature set, for many users this capability is inaccessible due the overwhelming number of keybindings used to access them. These keybindings have a steep learning curve that is quickly lost if not in constant use. Menus are a user interface (UI) affordance that offer users discoverability and recall. Providing a hierarchical menu UI over Calc greatly improves its casual use. Here is a nice introduction into casual: http://yummymelon.com/devnull/
Hello, Hmm, have you considered asking upstream to rename it? "casual-calc" being the obvious, much less generic choice.
It didn't occur to me, that the name is pretty generic, indeed. OTOH,
I'm not aware of any other (existing or requested) package named
"*casual*". And the fact, that the name is not really telling what
it is about, is common among almost all Debian and Emacs packages :-(
If I were to package this, I would now consider naming the source
package "emacs-casual{-calc}" and the binary package
"elpa-casual{-calc}", but I guess, it is easy enough to find by the
short description anyway, which mentions "Emacs Calc".
Cheers
Hello, Yes, the source package would need to be emacs-casual. I still think it should be suggested upstream.
Yes, different names in Debian and upstream can be confusing. But I'll leave that to whoever might like to package it.
