I really don't care either way, but (a) lxc-docker is more descriptive of what docker actually is than docker-io; and (b) the Docker website/installation documentation for ArchLinux already points to lxc-docker and lxc-docker-git... It's not worth changing names unless it's for plain old "docker". :-)

Either way, version 0.7.0 was just released and I've updated lxc-docker to it. As of this version, lxc-docker no longer needs a custom aufs-friendly kernel and should have no AUR dependencies. If you so desire, it can now be fast-tracked into [community] or [extra] if possible, and while you're add it put vagrant in there as well. :-) PKGBUILDs, etc. are maintained in my git repo: https://github.com/ido/packages-archlinux in the "aur" directory.

If there are any changes that need to be made to it, let me know or send a pull request. In AUR, lxc-docker-git now points to the master branch installation from source/git, and lxc-docker points to the binary (recommended) installation mechanism from the website. lxc-docker-git needs further work to comply with the recommended docker build instructions (which are to build docker inside of docker), but it builds a working binary at the moment.

FWIW, Red Hat calls their package docker-io. If renaming the old system tray app isn't an option, then perhaps docker-io is an option.

extra/docker is currently a very old system tray app for openbox2, kde3 and gnome2. It hasn't been updated in a very, very long time.

docker (https://www.docker.io/) on the other hand, is a widely used and current container solution. As of 0.7, it's now available on all distributions (previously was only available on ubuntu).

There will be a naming conflict between the two very soon. I would be in favour of renaming extra/docker preemptively since it hasn't been updated in a decade.

I ping'ed Daniel about his feeling on this. He's the maintainer. I'm currently looking to docker for addition to community. Probably docker-io, to stay in touch with fedora.

We should go for 'docker' or 'lxc-docker', 'docker-io' seems a bad choice to me, and we don't have to be on par with fedora in any way.

originally the docker people chose to use lxc-docker for their ubuntu ppa, since this name is chosen by the docker people it looks like a good choice.

Hi,

I started moving lxc-docker to [community], before seeing this thread. It's currently *not* pushed as an official package, but a work-in-progress PKGBUILD in svn.

Removing it from SVN, while waiting for the naming issue to be decided.

The moment the "docker" name is free, I'm ready to push the new docker.
