Does anyone know why this package does not use upstream name ? There is no way to tell this "task" package is Task Warrior except looking to the URI.
There's some confusion on the upstream page, taskwarrior.org. Text like
"Taskwarrior is an ambitious project to supercharge task with an interactive interface, GTD features, color themes, data synch, dependencies, custom reports, charts, and Lua plugins, all while our international team provides excellent support!"
make it sound like 'taskwarrior' is a layer on top of something called 'task'. But then the download file is http://www.taskwarrior.org/download/task-1.9.3.tar.gz The package is called 'task' by upstream in all distro files they provide too.
No matter how confusing this is, I would say that 'task' is the correct package name for the program taskwarrior :-)
You're right, but it might be worth including something like "AKA taskwarrior" in the description, to help people searching for that term. Pete.
