Good point. I agree that it makes excellent sense to mention this point of confusion in both long description and a README.Debian file. Long-term the ideal solution is for this package for /usr/bin/delta to be renamed to "delta" if the existing package of that name (which contains executables /usr/bin/multidelta and /usr/bin/singledelta but no /usr/bin/delta) at some point can be retired. That related issue is currently mentioned in /usr/share/doc/git-delta/TODO, and I will consider adding a note about that to long description as well. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ * Sponsorship: https://ko-fi.com/drjones [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
