This summer Robert and I were discussing on the naming convention and
concluded that we would like to use KFreeBSD wherever possible, for
consistrency and to not confuse users or developers, etc. So now we have:
uname -s: GNU/KFreeBSD
config.guess triplet: <arch>-(pc|unknown)-kfreebsd<version>-gnu
Debian port name: Debian GNU/KFreeBSD
Debian arch name: freebsd-<arch>
The Debian arch name is not consistent, because the dpkg maintainers
disagreed with the name change, and we didn't want to discuss it
endlessly, we wanted the patches integrated to have a functional system.
My question is, what names were you thinking on changing (if that change
is considered) ?
regards,
guillem
