Not having to handle special cases was easier for me, but ok done, the macro is now less pedantic.

You're right, it's documented now.

I don't have a good history with %autosetup :) It tends to hate the patches I produce.
OTOH it would be nice if the macro could adjust %setup to mean %setup -n %{archivename} when necessary, but I couldn't figure how to do it cleanly.

Done, thank you for the review.

Even if Alternatives is used the actual executable file must still have
another pathname. It might be a good idea to coordinate that name with
the package name.

Perl: perl-foo

Ruby: rubygem-foo
R: R-foo
PHP: php-foo
Golang: golang-foo
The prefix pattern "rust-parallel" looks better.

Package naming question
by Igor Gnatenko
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256
Hello,
I would like to hear opinion of other packagers about naming. We have
`parallel` utility implemented in Rust which is drop-in replacement for GNU
parallel. I was thinking how to name package and how people would expect it to
be named. So far options are:
* rust-parallel
* parallel-rust
* parallel-rs
I dislike first one because it is not ending up in completion while second and
third are quite good.
Thoughts?

That's only because createrepo_c is upstream name.

This is really worst user experience.
