Nope, I am not changing this, unless you give me a damn good reason. it is just a distribution implementation detail and does not affect the functionality.
The reason is to match upstream and minimize confusion for people who are trying to follow the upstream documentation. I agree that it does not affect functionality, as long as you exclude manpages from your definition of "functionality". I understand your reluctance to drop the '2' from the package name, even though we don't use the major version number in other packages that I am aware of and it gives people false hope that multiple versions of Apache can coexist on the same system. Personally I would be satisfied if you could at least include symlinks from the upstream binary/script names to the openSUSE-specific names. I.e. especially httpd -> httpd2 and apachectl -> apache2ctl. As for manpage functionality, I think it is seriously broken. Consider this, for example (with apache2 version 2.4.6-6.19.2): # httpd If 'httpd' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this: cnf httpd # man httpd ... read all about the httpd command that I can't run, no mention of httpd2 ... # apachectl If 'apachectl' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this: cnf apachectl # man apachectl ... read all about the apachectl command that I can't run, no mention of apache2ctl ... # man apachectl2 ... another way of displaying the apachectl manpage, but still no mention of apache2ctl... # apachectl2 If 'apachectl2' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this: cnf apachectl2 # man apache2ctl No manual entry for apache2ctl # man apxs ... read manpage ... # apxs If 'apxs' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this: cnf apxs # man apxs2 ... read apxs manpage ... # apxs2 If 'apxs2' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this: cnf apxs2 The manpages appear to be taken verbatim from upstream, with no mention of the openSUSE-specific name change. Also, there is a manpage for apachectl2, a command which doesn't exist, but none for apache2ctl, which does. And then there is a manpage for apxs which is not included in the package at all (under any name).
