Over the past several months I have been working on importing SLES, CentOS, and Ubuntu into Conary repositories so that they can be made available in rBuilder. You can try out CentOS and Ubuntu on rBuilder Online.
One of my goals in doing the import was to have an automated way of maintaining and adding to these platforms in the future. From this “sleestack” was born, a collection of scripts and configs for importing SLES. Over the months it grew into a few thousand lines of python that is capable of coordinating updates for SLES, Centos, and Ubuntu.
Now that rPath has decided to open source “sleestack” I need a better name that actually reflects its current purpose. As it turns out, I suck at naming things. I have been hounding people for ideas over the past week, but no one has come up with anything that is quite right. I am looking for something witty, yet descriptive. The current suggestions are:
- distroteque
- CustomsAgent
- rConstruct
- rImport
- coversion
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I’m going to go with the piratey rMatey as my suggestion — come on, just think of the adorable logo!

And rMatey (pronounced ARRRRRR! Matey) is even mildly clever, in that “importing new friends into rBuilder” sort of way, or in the “if we weren’t open source, this would be piracy” sort of way. See, oodles of clever!
Okay, I admit it, I just want to see the potential logo.
