Description David Carlos Manuelda 2011-08-02 15:34:58 UTC
In general, every filesystem checking programs and utilities are named sys-fs/${FSTYPE}progs but there is one (at least) which does not follow this rule: is sys-fs/jfsutils

I propose to have them all following the same nomenclature so I propose a renaming of sys-fs/jfsutils to sys-fs/jfsprogs

It is not really that important one but I always make this mistake when typing it to emerge :)

Reproducible: Always

Hello, thanks for the suggestion! We don't arbitraily pick names and (try to) follow upstream as closely as possible. In this case, jfsutils is exactly what upstream calls the program.
