card-atrust-acos should be renamed to card-acos about opensc HOT 8 CLOSED

Do you have a reference for this?

from opensc.

It is stated on the website of AustriaCard, that ACOS is their product: http://austriacard.at/acarticle.jsp?M=M3_5
And a reference to the A-Trust homepage with a statement that they are using the ACOS operating system: https://www.a-trust.at/ATrust/Produkte/asignPremium.aspx (link is german)

from opensc.

So do folks at ACS have an operating system ACOS. Thus the name is too generic for that. I'd better name it "card-austriacard" (and assume that their product family is named/compatible with acos also in the future as well)

from opensc.

Are there other chip os's that implement the austria card?

Is card-atrust-acos.c related to card-acos5.c?

from opensc.

Wouldn't that be rather inconsistent? All the other card drivers are named after the name of the OS ( like CardOS), and not after the company producing it. Which is a good thing, since companies change more frequently than OS-names.
So I rest with my suggestion to name it card-acos.

There is already card-acos5.c for "ACS ACOS5". I guess the naming card-atrust-acos.c was used to avoid confusions.

As compromise and for consistency, what about renaming card-acos5.c to card-acs-acos5.c? This thread is already way too long for a problem thats non-existing!

@frankmorgner +1 for a non-problem :)

I was just about to rename the file... Then I saw that card-acos5.c and card-atrust-acos.c were created 2005 and 2007. Since nobody complained since then it seems not nessaccary to change it now. We leave it as "won't fix" for historical reasons.
