Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Renaming PyBOMBS

[Martin Braun]

Let's not get derailed -- this thread is about finding a new name for
PyBOMBS, or keeping the old one.

The name doesn't have to be an acronym, either. I don't know what 'pip'
stands for, I'm not even sure 'yum' stands for anything, and 'emerge' is
just a nice word that describes what it's doing. Something that the
community finds overall nice for tool that does lots of things such as
installing GNU Radio and making development easier, that is easy to type
and remember and just looks good.

Cheers,
M
