Hello @xbt573,
please let us know if you already found a sponsor somewhere else. In
such case we can assign the correct person to this ticket and not
interfere with their process.

Feel free take this opportunity to also say a few words about
yourself. It is not mandatory so you don't have to, but it will help
us form a human connection.

Hi! I'm primarily a Golang developer, I plan to work with the following: gdu, navidrome, openmw and maybe other packages in the future.

I don't have a comment about the request, but I do have one about the naming of the program. On Macs (macports etc) it's common to name the GNU versions of standard tools as g<name>, eg. gdu is the GNU version of du. configure scripts and similar (running on Fedora) will get confused here.

I'm not sure if this is in any way related to Fedora.
gdu is installed as gdu-go in homebrew.

The issue is what it's called on Fedora. It would interact badly with configure lines like this: https://gitlab.com/nbdkit/nbdkit/-/blob/f80723fc76724e94bdf0e41a13b1c9280304d957/configure.ac#L739
Not that this is impossibly difficult to fix or anything, just saying it's a thing.

I've sponsored @xbt573 into the packager group.

@rjones I understand your concern, but I think there should be another forum, either bugzilla for downstream or https://github.com/dundee/gdu/issues for upstream, to discuss about the package naming.

Unless naming of the package is a blocker here, the ticket can be closed.
