Description : Tina's Random Number Generator Library
Tina's Random Number Generator Library (TRNG) is a state of
the art C++ pseudo-random number generator library for
sequential and parallel Monte Carlo simulations. Its design
principles are based on a proposal for an extensible random
number generator facility, that will be part of the random
number generator facility of the forthcoming revision of
the C++ standard.
Might you consider using tinarng as the package name, please?
TRNG is commonly used as the abbreviation of True Random Number
Generator (and variations, such as thruly random number generator).
It could cause some confusion. Really, upstream should have known
better...
At the very least, change the short description to add "pseudo".
