Hello,

I created a greeter for the greetd login daemon called ReGreet (https://github.com/rharish101/ReGreet). I wanted to publish a PKGBUILD for this to the AUR, and hence I requested a review on the Arch Forums here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2083695. Lone_Wolf on the forums pointed out that the package should be called "regreet-git". However, all other greeters for greetd (greetd-gtkgreet, greetd-qtgreet, greetd-ddlm-git) all start with the "greetd-" prefix.

What should I name my package? "regreet-git" or "greetd-regreet-git"? Should I stick with what the guidelines say, or the informal naming convention of greetd greeters?

For your reference, I'm attaching the PKGBUILD and the .install file here.
