Description

I had some confusion testing a fresh DNF install of daffodil with "dnf install daffodil" because the actual name of the RPM is "apache-daffodil"–you must use "dnf install apache-daffodil".

This is correct and expected behavior, but adding an alias for "daffodil" doesn't conflict with any other packages and could potentially help to minimize confusion. This can easily be supported by adding a RPM "Provides" tag for "daffodil".
