[Dune-devel] Request about the /usr/bin/dune filename

[Jeremie Dimino]

Dear developers of Dune,

I am the original author of the dune build system [1] for the OCaml
language. I'm writing to you as we are having trouble getting our
software accepted in Debian. Indeed, it has been suggested that the
"dune" package name and "/usr/bin/dune" filename should be reserved
for your Dune project which is already in Debian, in case you would
like to use these names in the future. This is problematic as our
build system has become the most used build system in the OCaml
community over the past two years.

Given that our software is a command line tool, the name of the tool
is extremely important to us. So I was wondering if it would be an
issue for you if we used the "dune" package name and the
"?usr/bin/dune" filename?

I look forward to hearing from you,
Jeremie Dimino
