Naming problem

[kentaro]

There has been already a tool named carton and it provides features like Bundler to Perl.

carton has been widely used in Perl community, of course including Emacs users like me ;), so it'll be happy to everyone if you change the name of this tool.

https://metacpan.org/release/carton

[rejeep]

Perl, is that thing still around...? :)

The endless naming issue. Would a rename to carton.el help?

[kentaro]

Some new cool name would be better, I think ;)

[rejeep]

"the hardest part of programming is naming things"

Any ideas?

[joelmccracken]

elpa kit ;)

[rejeep]

@joelmccracken Sarcasm or did you not know about https://github.com/nicferrier/elpakit :)

[joelmccracken]

haha, I do. So it was sarcasm. I just thought it would be a funny comment =).

But yeah; seeing this brought naming into my mind. I'm not sure what to suggest though.

[rejeep]

Naming sucks :-)

[joelmccracken]

Indeed. FWIW, I like carton.

[rejeep]

Yeah, me too, that's why I don't want to change it! :)

[swsnr]

Me too, so let's just keep the name :)

epm - emacs package manager

Googled "carton synonyms": case, casket, chest, coffer, container, corrugated box, crate, pack, package, packet

[rejeep]

The names casket and chest are kind of cool. Then I could just replace the carton logo with a chest or chest :)

[swsnr]

@rejeep I like "casket", too.

[tkf]

CASKET Adds Super K(c)ool Environment for Testing

[rejeep]

CASKET Adds Superior K(c)ool Emacs Tools

[rejeep]

So the question then is: how many other projects named casket can we find? :)

[swsnr]

Not many...

[rejeep]

One of em was a Ruby library that did something with packages (https://github.com/placek/casket). No stars though, so I guess it's not that widely used.

[swsnr]

@rejeep Also, more then two years since the last commit and the last Gem release. I don't think that this stands against picking the name.

[rejeep]

Good. We need to make sure though. Don't want to rename it twice :)

[stsquad]

I like Cask, it has the ring of a good ale to it.

[echosa]

+1 for Cask.

[joelmccracken]

Yeah... not a big fan of casket. The whole death thing. Also, Cask sounds
really nice.

Carton is really a cool name. Keeping it would be nice. But if it really has to be renamed, I am for Cask or crate

[dgutov]

Cask sounds rather bland IMO. Crate is nice, but there's already crate.io.
I think Casket is fine.

[rejeep]

It seems that Cask is the most popular name, so let's go with it. @tkf, @lunaryorn any comments before I start working on this?

[swsnr]

@rejeep Let's use cask then.

[tkf]

Yes, let's use it. I quickly searched but can't find propular CLI called cask.

[rejeep]

See this (WIP) branch for the renaming: #68

[rejeep]

Closing this since fixed by #68. Will be included in v0.4 release. Thanks all for the name input :)

[bbatsov]

Btw, there is also https://github.com/phinze/homebrew-cask :-) But I don't think that would be a problem.

[rejeep]

I sure hope there will be no more conflicts, renaming is never fun.... :)

[tkf]

Yea I found that but I thought it was not the problem as it is a subcommand brew cask.
