We agree to rename 'ide' to 'ecere-ide' but we're hoping the decided policy is to leave 'ide' alone for anyone. (We'll now have to setup 'ide' aliases in our bash configs) It's true we don't enjoy the same popularity / awareness as that GNOME project, but our IDE has been around since 2003. What is the expected time frame to fix this, can it wait for the upcoming upstream release? Thank you.

Best regards,

"gnome-builder 3.20.x ships /usr/bin/ide, making it impossible to
install alongside ecere-dev:

   Unpacking gnome-builder (3.20.4-1) over (3.18.1-1) ...
   dpkg: error processing archive
/var/cache/apt/archives/gnome-builder_3.20.4-1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
    trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/ide', which is also in package
ecere-dev 0.44.14-1+b1
   dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)

"ide" is a sufficiently generic name that both packages should
arguably leave it alone."

Thanks,
