Name should be proj4 or proj.4?

[ocefpaf]

Long time ago, before conda-forge, we renamed proj4 to proj.4 to match defaults. See SciTools/conda-recipes-scitools#116 and ioos/conda-recipes#500

Now it seems that defaults renamed it back to proj4 and we have the same problem because this feedstock was based on the scitools package.

Not sure if we should rename it again but some consistency would be nice. Pinging @msarahan and @ccordoba12 in case you know the reasons for the re-rename.

BTW: proj.4 is the original name so maybe we should stick with that.

Was having issue with the name mismatch today. Having both proj.4 and proj4 installed in a environment can cause segmentation faults.

My vote is for proj4 although I would rather see this resolved rather than have a particular name.

What do you say @msarahan? Will defaults settle on proj4? If so I will gladly rename it here and fix the dependencies.

[ocefpaf]

OK. No one from continuum said anything... I will rename and go about all the feedstocks renaming the dependencies, but if this changes again 👿 👿 👿

Should we rename the feedstock to match the current package name?

As the maintainer of PROJ I would encourage that since the proj4 moniker is rather confusing now that we've moved past version 4. The project is trying to move away from the having the 4 in the name wherever possible, but as you can imagine moving away from a name that has been in use for over 25 years is a slow process. I expect this will take 5 to 10 years so if conda-forge continues to use the proj4 name it will not be a big deal in the grand scheme of things.
