Description

The repository with the C implementation is currently called sarrac. That was the name used for the v2 C package.
The debian amd RPM packages built from it for version 3 are called metpx-sr3c. As part of the build process for RPMS, one must have the directory containing the package match the package name, so need to override the destination on every clone when making RPM packages.

I am wondering if it would be cleaner to rename the package to be *metpx-sr3c*

Having the name of the C package *sarrac* be a substring of sarracenia, causes mild confusion.
