gping: Rename gping to something else to resolve conflict with inetutils

Port: | gping, inetutils |
Description
Currently inetutils has ping which is installed as gping
. Another port, gping
(https://ports.macports.org/port/gping/ ; https://github.com/orf/gping) also uses gping
and thus conflicts with inetutils.
It seems that perhaps gping should be renamed to something else like graphping
or some other name so as to allow both to coexist. There are a lot of other ways of doing this, but I'm not sure what may be preferred here in this scenario.

Thanks for the suggestion. A new version of gping was conveniently released today, so I changed the name and mentioned it in the notes.
It looks like
gping
is written in ruby. I'm not familiar enough with ruby to give any pointers of how to rename it as it's being configured or built (ininetutils
I use a configure argument to prepend theg
). However, it shouldn't be too hard to do so inpost-destroot
.
