Hi I was wondering, if I can hear every one's thoughts as to should we deliver a symbolic link of apache, php and mysql binaries (at least some of the most commonly) used under /usr/bin ? For example, some of the commonly used binaries like ab, apxs, httpd, httpd.worker, php, php-cgi, mysql, mysqladmin should have a symbolic link under /usr/bin ? One argument for having this under /usr/bin is they are easy to access and customer clearly knows about this ? Currently, none of this are delivered under /usr/bin and users are expected to set /usr/<component>/<version> in their PATH before using these. Do we still follow the same pattern ?
If we are going to create symbolic link, then what will be the expected behavior if a newer version of these components are integrated ? Will the newer version of components simply over write the symbolic links to point to the newer version ? thanks sriram
