Public bug reported:
There are:
- The cpulimit software ("cpulimit.sourceforge.net" or
"https://github.com/opsengine/cpulimit";).
- The limitcpu software (http://limitcpu.sourceforge.net/) .
But when people install the cpulimit package... they end up
realizing that they have installed the limitcpu software. Similar, but with
differences that eventually cause confusions.
This bug report is for naming this package "limitcpu" instead of
"cpulimit". Just to be loyal to truth, to the author of limitcpu (who calls its
software "limitcpu" not "cpulimit"), to avoid what are trademark violations,
and to avoid confusions (*).
(*) Like people installing the cpulimit package and seeing
that some things don't work as they expected... because they installed
the limitcpu software instead.
I understand that not everyone has enough time to do what he
thinks it's correct... but, who knows, after reporting a situation,
maybe someone with enough time and resources will mend it in the future.
At least, the door is open.
