> Key: THRIFT-1817
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1817
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Compiler (General)
> Affects Versions: 0.9
> Reporter: Andrew Gaul
>
> This allows users install multiple versions of Thrift. In my use case, I
> have a program where older branches use Thrift 0.8 while master uses 0.9.
> Versioned binaries mimics the behavior of GCC:
> {noformat}
> $ ls -l /usr/bin/gcc*
> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Mar 13 2012 /usr/bin/gcc -> gcc-4.6
> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 353216 Apr 15 2012 /usr/bin/gcc-4.6
> {noformat}
