[jira] [Created] (BIGTOP-1827) Tachyon package name conflict on Debian/Ubuntu

Erich Schubert created BIGTOP-1827:
--------------------------------------

             Summary: Tachyon package name conflict on Debian/Ubuntu
                 Key: BIGTOP-1827
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-1827
             Project: Bigtop
          Issue Type: Bug
         Environment: Debian
            Reporter: Erich Schubert


Debian and Ubuntu already have a package named "tachyon":

https://packages.debian.org/sid/tachyon

Parallel/Multiprocessor Ray Tracing Software

http://jedi.ks.uiuc.edu/~johns/raytracer/

which has been in Debian since 2008, and apparently was started in 1994.

Because this package has a higher version number (0.99~b2+dfsg-0.4) it will always take precedence to the Bigtop "tachyon" package, and on upgrades this will cause chaos.

Maybe the package should be named tachyon-java or apache-tachyon instead to avoid upgrade problems?
