[chirp_devel] [PATCH 2/9] Rename chirp.py as chirpc (#2343)

[Kosta Arvanitis]

Sorry (again) about the emails, its my lot in life to suffer from this I suppose.  I probably should switch to using Thunderbird, but that's on me.


I noticed that the history in the online repository has now been lost on this chirpc.py;  this may be a bigger issue if further renames (radios) occurs as I find the online repository helpful at times.


As it was pointed out utilizing hg log --follow; does display the entire history but it appears that redmine is not accounting for this flag.

Kosta, just FYI, your emails continue to look very rough on this end:

It's really not reasonable to install something ending in .py into
$PATH, IMHO. Further, renaming on install doesn't seem like the right
thing to do either (and it'd be very unconventional).

Right now, chirpw becomes the installed binary for the windowed version.
We can't really use "chirp" unless we put it in a different directory,
as it conflicts with the package name. IMHO, chirpc is a reasonable
alternative. I don't think it's likely to be confused as a compiler to
anyone other than java folk. The other option in my mind would be
"chirpcli", but then it would be different from "chirpw" and I'm really
not in favor of renaming that to "chirpwindowed" :)
