Stay with an old name until the new agreed naming happened. Some suggestions:

  • candyjet - Cache and Deliver You Job Extensive Transfers
  • arc-jet - ARC Justified Exceptional Tranfer service (‘Arc Jet’ is also some NASA complex)
  • hexaton - Helper for EXtensive ARC Transfers OffloadiNg
[2]Libraries from dedicated package should be moved to A-REX
[3]LDAP/BDII/Glue-Schema dependencies + wrappers to start all this LDAP world. Infoproviders are now in the A-REX package.
[4]Deployment directories are not updated also: /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/acix/cacheserver/. Should be scanner instead of cacheserver
[5]Also remove saml_assertion_init tool that is no longer relevant
