Unintuitive binary naming

Bug #232130 reported by Mario Limonciello on 2008-05-20

Affects		Status	Importance	Assigned to	Milestone
	bzr-gtk (Ubuntu)	Fix Released	Undecided	Unassigned

Bug Description

Binary package hint: bzr-gtk

Currently the binary that is provided in bzr-gtk is called "Olive". If you go into the programming menu, it is also titled olive. This is rather unintuitive to indicate that it is actually the bzr GTK frontend.

It is not the only bzr gtk frontend included in bzr-gtk - the other ones are nautilus-bzr and extra subcommands added to bzr itself (e.g. "bzr viz")h

Jelmer,

Perhaps at least renaming the menu option in the "Programming" menu would
make sense then. "Bzr graphical viewer (Olive)" or similar?

That's already done, we are setting:

Name=Olive
GenericName=Version Control GUI

in olive's desktop file.

If you have your GNOME menu configured to display not just application names but also generic names (which is the default I think) this should show as "Version Control GUI (Olive)"

Not sure what we can fix here, so marking as incomplete for now.

Changed in bzr-gtk:
status:	New → Incomplete

Maybe rename olive (olive-gtk) to olive-bzr ?

Mario - do you still consider there to be a problem here? In Intrepid, the name in the programming menu is "Olive Bazaar Branch Manager"

Hi Chris:

I think that explains what it is very well. Thanks!
