I just wanted to sum this point up (rollback of update-alternatives in 1250 and 12051):
I found the reason why I could not replace newer build with older ones on CentOS and fixed it. I can now reproduce what Enrico also confirmed. I can install/uninstall/reinstall any version of ooRexx from 12050 to the current 12058. However, trying to install any version prior to 12050 fail. The installation of for instance 12038 will go through without any error messages but rexx -v will consistently refer to the last install (the install with the highest revision number). I have tried it on 3 different .rpm builds and 3 different .deb builds and the behavior is the same so I think it is not just me. As a consequence it is no longer possible to go back to a version of ooRexx containing the rexx-oorexx update-alternatives solution. Further In 12058 I restored some variables needed in the installer that were removed by the rollback. The package on CentOS is now correctly indicating the revision number which it did not do in 12057. I propose another solution to the update-alternatives problem: Why not provide Linux installers for an alternative installation location for those who really need it, say to /opt or /usr/local/ rather than to /usr? Such an installation would be active only after amending the path, something that could be arranged with a shell script. Most Slaves on Jenkins are dormant 90-95% of the time so there is capacity for building them. I also have a question to those juggling several rexx installations: how is it done on the Windows platform? Hälsningar/Regards/Grüsse, P.O.
