-<note warning>Current Working Point</note>+Sometimes it may be necessary to rename the SlackBuild archive for an application to avoid naming conflicts and simplify the organization of the packages in sbopkg. If you wish to apply alternate names to known SlackBuilds you will should first create a new file in the **/etc/sbopkg/renames.d/** directory that follows the debian style naming of {number}-{name}.renames, I recommend a simple name like 70-custom.renames so the default file takes precedence. 
 + 
 +The file contents are very simple, OldName=NewName. 
 +An example would be to rename the i3 window manager SlackBuild to i3wm so it is better reflected as a window manager. 
 +Create a new file named **/etc/sbopkg/renames.d/70-custom.renames**, open the file in your favorite text editor and add the following: 
 +<code># oldname=newname 
 +i3=i3wm</code> 
  
 +As you can see the comment was added to make future modifications easier and the syntax is also very simple to understand.
