If there are no better ideas, I'll go with it.

gearman-server package to /usr/bin/gearmand.pl and adjusting start scripts

That sounds reasonable to me. Was it implemented?

In the meantime I'm raising the severity of these bugs to serious,
so forky will be released without these policy violations.

Here is the merge request which suppose to rename /usr/bin/gearmand to / usr/bin/gearmand-perl in the gearman-server package

Thanks.


A reamining question from POV is:

  TODO:
  gearman-server is a build (test) dependency of libgearman-client-perl; check
  if it likes the rename


Cheers,
gregor
