Originally created by @thinrope on GitHub (Sep 12, 2017).

Hello,
I just learned about this project, thumbs up!

Unfortunately, the default install produces /usr/bin/bro executable and that conflicts with another well-known project The Bro Network Security Monitor.

Of course the executable name can be tweaked by each distribution, but I would rather see a change at the source (probably renaming it to /usr/bin/brotli ?).
There is one bug already for Gentoo, #628620, I guess other distros will pop up...

How do you feel about that?

Hello.
Most distros pick up v0.6 release of brotli, and in this version CLI tool was named "bro". In tip-of-tree version it is "brotli". In one week (hopefully) brotli v1.0 will be released, and distros will start picking up brotli with fixed name.

Great!
(I really hate reporting "fixed-in-master" bugs, apology for that; I only checked the latest release tarball)
