[aur-general] New package - possible file conflict
Hello everyone, I am planning to release a PKGBUILD for writer2latex [1], which includes a default shell script called 'w2l'. I am not going to use this exact file, as I want to use the one in the Java Package Guidelines [2]. However, how should I call this shell script? 'writer2latex', as this is the precise package name, or 'w2l', which is what the package proposes, but resulting in a possible file conflict. So, which one should I choose? Regards, Marcel [1] http://writer2latex.sourceforge.net [2] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Java_Package_Guidelines

How is this different from the writer2latex package already in the AUR?

Generally you'd leave the filenames as defined upstream. With what would the w2l file conflict with - I don't see anything in the official repos. If it conflicts with another aur package, would it only be fore other writer2latex packages? If so, just list those packages as conflicting with this one. -Jesse AKA 'Trilby' on archlinux.org

Whoops, missed the libreoffice-extension-writer2latex.

All right, I understand, but the current package uses writer2latex as a shell script. Whatever. There are some other issues with that package, but I'll mention them in the comments there. Regards, Marcel
