Description akater 2021-10-01 15:20:37 UTC

org-contrib is now segregated into its own Git repository which means

- src_install in >=app-emacs/org-mode-9.5 is going to need a change

- we likely need separate packages for Org and for org-contrib (the USE
  flag itself better stay, I think) for live versions to remain consistent
  with non-live ones

Given this necessity to split, I suggest to use this opportunity to
rename the package so that we'd have

- app-emacs/org

- app-emacs/org-contrib

Old versions of app-emacs/orgmode may stay for some time for
compatibility.

Having “org” rather than “org-mode” makes more sense:

- the package is called org;

- the feature is called org;

- this will simplify ebuild a little.


Reproducible: Always




In general, -mode suffix is overused and can be considered dated style
for package names at this point.  It only remains in some places (URIs,
mostly) by historical reasons.  E.g. so-called “company-mode” is listed
as just “company” in the Emacs package manager, and is referenced this
way in natural language.
