Bug#794334: [Pkg-amule-devel] Bug#794334: ea-utils: /usr/bin/alc already used by amule-utils-gui
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=794334 Hi, If I were the overlord of Debian I'd say that GUI-only commands should not take up any precious 3-letter command names, but as I'm not I agree that we need to respect the principle of first-come-first-served. Andreas' fix should work fine for this package, and the only dependent package right now (python-burrito-fillings) only calls alc indirectly via the other programs, so as long as ea-utils calls the renamed version internally everything will work. However, ALC is a potentially handy little tool outside of FASTQ file manipulation - it was originally hosted at http://documentroot.com/alc (dead link??) - so it would be nice to give it a snappy name which can be acceptable in /usr/bin. If we propose this to upstream (Erik Aronesty - CC'd), what is the easiest way for him to check if any given alternative command name is already taken in Debian? I tried a search on packages.debian.org but it doesn't give the right result: https://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=contentskeywords=%2Fusr% 2Fbin%2Falcmode=exactfilenamesuite=sidarch=any Cheers, TIM -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#794334: ea-utils: /usr/bin/alc already used by amule-utils-gui
Hi, I just learned that there is a name space conflicts with the new package ea-utils and amule-utils-gui. I know that we are working according to a first comes first served basis and thus ea-utils would be responsible to rename this file. However, I would like to ask you anyway whether there is any chance to deal with this name space conflict from the amule-utils side. Kind regards Andreas.

Yes, this is what I assumed but I wanted to make sure with you that this is the case. Thanks for your quick answer. Tim, my proposed solution would be to rename /usr/bin/alc from ea-utils to ea-utils-alc and provide a symlink /usr/lib/debian-med/bin/alc If qiime is using alc it should adapt the PATH accordingly. What do you think about this? Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
