The first release candidate for GRASS 8.0.0 has been released.

This new major version is an opportunity for major changes in the packaging as well.

Should we drop the grass<XY> naming and just use grass since we don't support installing multiple versions simultaneously?

This would affect executables like usr/bin/grass80 & usr/bin/x-grass80 and subdirectories like usr/lib/grass80 & usr/share/grass80.

QGIS likely required changes to support GRASS 8 any way, so having to adapt its packaging too won't be much of an issue.

The Fedora packaging also uses the grass<XY> naming for thei 7.8 packages, so we're not the only one doing this. We may want to keep it for 8.x.

Thoughts?

Kind Regards,

Bas
