[aur-general] Renaming 'chromium-browser-bin' and 'chromium-nightly'
Helloooo, and happy April Fools, folks! As you know, we have a long history with a package called 'chromium-browser-bin', [1] which provides the Chromium Continuous builds that are essentially (to some degree) automatically tested Chromium Snapshot builds [2] [3]. It has now come under my maintainership, and undergone some major changes, but the final obstacle remains the most important piece: the very name of the package. This concerns 'chromium-nightly' [4] as well, which provides the aforementioned Chromium Snapshots. My personal pool of suggestions is as follows: - chromium-continuous - chromium-continuous-bin - chromium-nightly - chromium-nightly-bin (only 3 packages follow this scheme [5]) - chromium-snapshot - chromium-snapshot-bin I would preferer omitting the '-bin', but I understand, if people feel that it's important to point out. [1] = https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/chromium-browser-bin/ [2] = http://build.chromium.org/p/chromium [3] = https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/d/topic/chromium-discuss/9AK9NME1rI... [4] = https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/chromium-nightly/ [5] = https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?K=nightly-bin Thanks for your time, Det

Both packages build latest available versions , so they're like binary VCS packages . In my opinion the -bin suffix must be present, so people are aware these packages don't build from source. Given that upstream calls them continuous builds & snapshot builds , i'd suggest chromium-continuous-bin chromium-snapshot-bin (it somehow feels wrong to call something nightly when it can be build multiple times per day).
