Hello, I am working on packaging a new program for Debian. I currently have it successfully Debianized and the binary package installs and works, but I still need to complete some metadata on it and fix the remaining Lintian errors/warnings. However, I have a question on how to name the package. It seems to generally be referred to by it's executable name, tiv, which stands for Terminal Image Viewer. I was going to name the Debian package tiv, but I don't know if that's recommended to have such a short package name for a very specific piece of software. The GitHub repo for it is called TerminalImageViewer, but when it's compiled and installed, it is named tiv. The other, longer package name I was considering was terminal-image-viewer, but that might lead to confusion by a user installing it.
https://github.com/stefanhaustein/TerminalImageViewer As another example, I did see an X11 image viewer that was just named feh after it's executable so that might not be a big issue. And second, this might be a question for a different list, but I'm not sure how to best enter in the license information. According to their LICENSE file, it can be redistributed under either the GPL 3.0 license or the Apache 2.0 Software License, both approved for Debian. I was considering just listing it as one of them, but I don't know if that's proper. -- Loren M.
