Control: retitle -1 RFP: spigot.py -- Post to the Pump.io social network automatically from (RSS) feeds
spigot (the exact real calculator, named after the `spigot algorithm', which it implements) is now in testing. spigot (the Python pump.io client) is still waiting in hope for a contributor. As the Debian maintainer of spigot (the exact real calculator), I felt that it was appropriate to claim the command name `spigot' for the exact real calculator, because: the calculator is a command line utility for interactive use; and, the pump.io client seems to expect to be invoked by upstream as `spigot.py'. After that the decision to claim the package name `spigot' seemed to follow. I did search for other spigot programs and commands and none seemed likely to be troubled by /usr/bin/spigot being the exact real calculator. I'm not sure what the best package name for the Python pump.io client is, but for now I am retitling this bug to request `spigot.py'. For reference, I think pump.io is cool and I certainly don't want to get in the way of better support for pump.io in Debian. If I knew more about pump.io and/or Python packaging I might even consider packaging it. As it is, the best I can do is offer to sponsor somehow who understands these things more than I do.
