[Pool] Help me to rename trash command of trash-cli?

[Andrea Francia]

Hi,
   I'm the developer of the trash-cli project.

The trash-cli project is a opensource implementation of the FreeDesktop.org
Trash Specification that provides a command line interface to manage the
trashcan.

Ideally trash-cli provides these commands:

 * trash            # trashes files and directories.
 * trash-empty      # empty the trashcan(s).
 * trash-list       # list trashed files.
 * trash-restore    # restore a trashed file.

While the trash-cli project was already added to Debian and Ubuntu without
any problem, but the RedHat package reviewer thinks that the name of the
'trash' command is too generic, and they don't want add it to fedora until
the
generic name issue has not been solved.

The discussion about the renaming started on [1], and followed in [2] which
was
summarized in [3].

Now, if I want my project will be added to Fedora, I need to rename the
'trash'
command, but I'm not able to find a name good as the original one.

In any case I think a good choice keep the trash-* form because it exploit
the
shell TAB completion.

I collected some ideas for renamng the 'trash' command. Would you like help
me
to choose the best one? Do you know a better name?

In the beginning I was persuaded to use the 'trash-file' name but I don't
like
it very much. As Christoph Bloch pointed out [4],

> My arguments against "trash-file":

solution

> * It is even wrong: Directories can be trashed, too.

> Just "trash" was much better.

you
to find a better name) :
