For some reason when the build system was converted to automake by this patch
"Convert the build system to autotools"the name of the output binary for crec was changed from 'crec' to 'crecord'.
This patch corrects it back to 'crec'
That implies crecord is incorrect, I do not think so.
Can you explain why you would want to rename this back.
The motivation for this was to make it proper like cplay. Also similar to aplay and arecord.
I don't really see a need for that, or why "crec" is wrong.
In any case if you did want to change that name
a) it should be an explicit patch, not sneaked in as an undocumented and unexpected side-effect of some other patch
This part I agree. Unfortunately this was not done transparently...
b) the source file should have been renamed to match, if the name "crec" is a massive problem then it should also be a problem that "cplay.c->cplay" but "crec.c->crecord". If it's ok to have the source file called crec.c what's wrong with the binary it builds being called crec?
I dont mind renaming source as well..
I think bigger question is should we continue crec or crecord, my preference is latter.
c) it's a nuisance to have to change existing test systems and apps that launch "crec", or to create symlinks from crec->crecord.
Yeah agree, lets decide on one and stick to that, forever hopefully :)
Ok let's change to crecord for consistency with arecord, and I'll do a patch to rename the source to match.
