As Patrick said earlier in the thread that not enough members seem to care about this, I add my voice here: node from node.js is often used in shebang while node from AX25 is not. Having a "nodejs" binary will cause many difficulties to our users. What if the problem was raised ten years ago about Python for example. What an horrible mess it would be today if the python binary was called "python-py" or "python-script". See how communities may react to this. Ruby community does not like our packaging just because we enforce stability over freshness. What would think node.js community if we are using /usr/bin/nodejs instead of /usr/bin/node. Debian would be listed as a black sheep in every FAQ or tutorial and users will be invited to just install some non official package or use the source. Patrick seems OK for both binaries to be renamed. I don't see the rationale of not accepting that node.js keeps the "node" name. -- Vincent Bernat ☯ http://vincent.bernat.im Modularise.
