It's time to finally rename Camlistore.

Camlistore was always supposed to be a temporary name, and it survived for way too long (over 7 years so far!).

Problems with the name Camlistore:

  • It's a nerdy acronym for Content-Addressable Multi-Layer Indexed Storage, which is nerdy. Nerdy was fine when the target was nerds, but as it gets increasing usable & user-friendly, I'd like a more approachable name.
  • I pronounce it Cam-lee-store, but most people say Camel-store.
  • People think it's written in OCaml. It's not.
  • It's three syllables.
  • Back before LetsEncrypt, companies wouldn't give us cheap/free certs because Camlistore contains the substring "store", so therefore it's used for commerce and we need an enhanced certificate blah blah. (No longer relevant, but amusing.)

After much thought and research, we've settled on the name Perkeep.

Perkeep lets you permanently keep things in your permanent keep.

I like that keep works as both a,

  • verb -- "have or retain possession of"
  • noun -- "the strongest or central tower of a castle, acting as a final refuge"

And "per" is a prefix for "through", which makes me think of data moving around, importers, exporters, etc. It's also short for "permanent".

I bought the relevant domain names and can't find existing users.

Things to update:

  • domain name, redirects
  • website
  • mascot (I'm thinking a derpy parakeet, "Keepy, the Perkeep Parakeet" maybe). I think @ashleymcnamara might still be interested in designing it for us.
  • docs
  • code structure, daemon/CLI names
  • github repo (second to last)
  • gerrit hostname (lowest priority, probably last)

Camlistore references will persist for quite some time, so we might as well partially embrace it with stuff like. "Perkeep, née Camlistore".

For daemon names, I'm thinking e.g.

  • server/perkeepd

For CLI tools:

  • cmd/pkput (camput)
  • cmd/pkget (camget)
  • cmd/pk (camtool)

cmd/pk could even get "get" and "put" subcommands that call the pkput/pkget binaries/code.

What else am I forgetting?

e.g. the name "perkeep" doesn't mean something offensive in some language I don't know, does it? Google Translate suggests we're safe there.

Well, crap, I never checked whether the Twitter account was free, and it's not: https://twitter.com/perkeep

Hasn't been used since 2014. I wonder if it's possible to get. Perhaps the owner will rename to something else.

Otherwise we need a new Twitter handle.

Small note: I'm not sure how it works in english, but if it's supposed to mimick the french word, "née" is a past participle that follows the subject, so it's "né" if the subject is male, and only "née" if it's female.

"née" is primarily seen in english to express a woman's maiden name. So it is frequently (mis)used in this way.

I also have no problems with a piece of software being grammatically feminine. ;-)

More importantly, I don't care what color this bike shed ends up. But I'm looking forward to the new name!

@buro9, I filed a Twitter support request. @nickoneill told me:

Twitter says if a user hasn't logged in for a year, you can file a support request and get unused twitter names.

Yeah, I was gonna say, my searches on that say that twitter basically never lets old handles go free, but I'd be happy to be proven wrong.

until them I suggest taking like PerKeepDotOrg or something similar. It's fairly common (see twitter.com/GoHugoIO)

Will Perkeep come true my last two wishes for Camlistore, better documentation for multitenant mode, and a merged-in union storage implementation?

I don't want to do the Flickr -r thing. Also, I like "keep" as-is for being a real word. Sounds more professional. And "Perkeepr" makes me think of Trapper Keeper from my childhood.

@bradfitz Keep is definitely a good name. The storage layer in Arvados is called Keep, and it is has some similar design elements to Camlistore.

Camlistore often shorted to Camli. Perkeep shorted is Perk. Familiarity and brevity breeds nicknames perkup, perkdown, perkpush, perkpull. All good. I was thinking about any related negative short names, only one is "perkwalk" (my bad). Came because many male celebrities currently getting in trouble.

@mpl, I've updated the nameserver records for perkeep.org to AWS and set the DNS A records to the same IP as camlistore.org. Should be in live everywhere in 12-24 hours. Want to make sure camweb does the right thing upon getting those Host/SNI values? (both "perkeep.org" and "www.perkeep.org" doing the redirect thing)

I think {www.,}camlistore.org should also redirect to https://perkeep.org/

Make sure you also update the acme autocert allowed hostnames.

Probably very low priority, but there's the app on Google Play - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.camlistore - that needs a name change. It would be nice to update too (or temporarily remove?) as it's quite an old version and I think there have been significant bug fixes since it was last published.

cmd: rename camput to pk-put, and make "pk put" call it
ce4658a 
A new "put" mode is added to the pk command, so that the "pk put"
command can be used to create and upload blobs.

What this command does is actually just call the previously named
"camput" executable, which is renamed to "pk-put" in this change.

This involves adding a new way to register a mode in cmdmain, when such
a mode is just meant to call an external binary. To emphasize the
distinction, the existing func (to register a sub-command, or a mode) is
renamed from RegisterCommand to RegisterMode, and RegisterCommand is now
the name of the new func/way.

Looks like there are still quite a few references that can be cleaned up: https://github.com/perkeep/perkeep/search?q=camlistore

We'll never get it completely to zero, since some would be breaking changes, but I think it's worth keeping this issue open to track cleaning up these remaining references.
