I saw this but decided to ignore it for now since there hasn't been any activity with Foreman in over a year. If the name conflict arise in Debian it is a pretty small matter to change it then I think. I.e. Foreman[1] renaming to theforeman as the upstream web page or this foreman renaming to ruby-foreman or some such, it is not a big thing IMHO. > Nevertheless, I think it'd be best to avoid a package naming conflict > between the two apparently completely unrelated applications.
