I will go ahead and rename my tool's package then but leave the binary name the same for now.

Hi. So I am just packaging this tool, and not responsible for the code, and it's original name. I can rename the package, but that may be less convenient for users if they try to find the tool, which is named arf (https://github.com/eitsupi/arf).

Because you are both the developer and packager of arf-git (and it is still early stages) it may make more sense to rename it now and make a suite of packages (-bin, etc).

But as I said before, as you were first, if you prefer to keep the name, no problem, I will figure the steps to rename it, only it will probably be over the weekend.

Hi again. Are you able to confirm if this package could be renamed? I don't mind either way but would like to know so I may upload the first tagged release, otherwise I will go ahead and submit a rename request for arf-git.

I added the word "experimental" because the tool was not nearly as robust as I previously thought but I am slowly fixing that. It's also worth noting the tool was prevoiusly named fzur so I can go back to that or find a different name if needed.

Hi again. I agree with you about the confusion. You were the first so I have no problem renaming. Are you going to keep working on your tool? The repo page says 'experimental'.

Thanks for the response! The arf package did not exist, only arf-git because I did not tag a release for my project yet. I am not asking for a rename but it is a little confusing to end up with a completely different piece of software depending on if the -git version is chosen.

Hi, it is a coincidence. I was working on packaging sever r-language related tools over the past few weeks. And I did my best to check if other packages with same names existed. It may be that when I checked for arf the package was not there, or I didn't notice in my search. For those that I noticed same names, I prefixed them with r-.

Hi, I am curious if it is a coincidence that both this package and arf-bin were published to the AUR just 3 weeks after my package arf-git.
