This might be confusing to old people. PLIP is a protocol for
transporting IP packets over the parallel port.

Hi Simon,
I agree that the name is a bit ambiguous, but I see a couple
of reasons why it is still might be ok:
- aptitude search plip shows only hplip, which has nothing to do with
parallel port as well.
- plipconfig is provided by net-tools package, and I think
it is not likely that somebody will create a package for parallel
port ip protocol software only.
- it is not a python library to call it python-plip.
- any 4 letter name is ambiguous and currently
there are ~ 790 such packages.
And honestly, being old doesn't mean using old technologies :)
After the discussion with the upstream, I think I can rename it to
pliprofiler
The problem is that I've already created the repository:
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian-med/plip.git
Which should be renamed in this case.
What is the correct way to do it ?
Thank you,
Alex
