I need to use 'clang-format' program to format some code and I found 
a package which contains it (llvm-17.0.6p5). However, after 
installation, the program executable is named 'clang-format-17' 
instead of 'clang-format'. Because of this, the scripts I use for 
formatting can't find it in $PATH. To solve this issue, I made 
symlink '~/bin/clang-format' to '/usr/local/bin/clang-format-16'. 
This works great, but the problem is I have multiple systems and I 
have to do the same thing on them too. I will also probably need to 
update symlinks everytime the new version releases. 

I was thinking, that it could be much more convenient if the package 
would create symlink automatically during installation. If it did, 
there would be no need to create and update symlink manually.

Can we have this?

Thanks,
