+tor-dev and some relevant people, please keep CC Hey all, I'd like some advice on the naming of this package.
I have some options in mind: - flashproxy-server: The main practical use of this package is with the flashproxy[1][2] system. However, as noted in the package description, it could be used in other situations outside of flashproxy. Importantly, the code and functionality does not know about rest of the flashproxy system; as far as it is concerned, it is a "plain" Tor pluggable transport, in the sense that it "only" implements a stream-transformation in the same way as e.g. obfsproxy does, without the complexity involving addresses that (the other parts of) flashproxy provides. - tor-pt-websocket or pt-websocket: These are unambigious but inconsistent with the other Tor pluggable transport in Debian, obfsproxy. And there is also "fteproxy"[3] which will probably retain this naming when added to Debian in the future. - wsproxy-server: short and unambigious, consistent with "obfsproxy" and "fteproxy", but upstream has not adopted this naming. (We do not have a general convention for naming Pluggable Transports, but several others have been called *proxy, e.g. sshproxy[4] and aforementioned[3].)
