Hi,<br> I'm the developer of the trash-cli project.<br><br>The trash-cli project is a opensource implementation of the FreeDesktop.org<br>Trash Specification that provides a command line interface to manage the<br>trashcan.<br>
<br>Ideally trash-cli provides these commands:<br> <br> * trash # trashes files and directories.<br> * trash-empty # empty the trashcan(s).<br> * trash-list # list trashed files.<br> * trash-restore # restore a trashed file.<br>
<br>While the trash-cli project was already added to Debian and Ubuntu without <br>any problem, but the RedHat package reviewer thinks that the name of the <br>'trash' command is too generic, and they don't want add it to fedora until the <br>
generic name issue has not been solved.<br><br>The discussion about the renaming started on [1], and followed in [2] which was <br>summarized in [3].<br><br>[1] <a href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=448122">https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=448122</a><br>

<br>Now, if I want my project will be added to Fedora, I need to rename the 'trash'<br>command, but I'm not able to find a name good as the original one.<br><br>In any case I think a good choice keep the trash-* form because it exploit the <br>
shell TAB completion.<br><br>I collected some ideas for renamng the 'trash' command. Would you like help me<br>to choose the best one? Do you know a better name?<br><br>In the beginning I was persuaded to use the 'trash-file' name but I don't like<br>
it very much. As Christoph Bloch pointed out [4],<br><br>> My arguments against "trash-file":<br>> * It is not intuitive and therefore unnecessarily difficult to memorise.<br>> * It is unnecessarily long.<br>
> * Every change in the name of programs causes confusion, so the new solution<br>> should be a clear improvement (which it isn't).<br>> * It is even wrong: Directories can be trashed, too.<br>><br>> Just "trash" was much better.<br>

to find a better name) :<br><br> * trash-put<br> * trash-put-in<br> * trash-trash<br> * trash-throw<br> * trash-f<br> * trash-rm<br> * trash-recycle<br> * trash-do<br> * trash-to<br><br> * trash-<br> * trash-now<br> * trash-!<br>
