Description Tomáš Mózes 2022-10-22 07:21:41 UTC

Currently we do:

src_install() {
        newbin ncdu ncdu-bin
}

However this breaks the previous flow when you just type ncdu. Is there a reason to call it ncdu-bin? I thought the bin version is there not to bring in zig or install zig-bin (for such a small tool). Maybe we could just add a blocker on ncdu and thus keep the ncdu binary name (as upstream uses).

Thanks
