Package: sphinxsearch
Version: 0.9.9-4
Severity: wishlist

Hi, maintainer!

Thanks for packaging this package. I used to my package before, now I
can switch to Your package.

But I think that it would be nice if sphinxsearch used prefix for its
utilities.

Its confugure has --program-prefix option, You can use it.

If You try to use 

apt-file search bin/indexer

You will be able to find some indexer utilities, for example:

mnogosearch-mysql: /usr/sbin/indexer
mnogosearch-pgsql: /usr/sbin/indexer
mnogosearch-sqlite: /usr/sbin/indexer
sphinxsearch: /usr/bin/indexer

If we install mnogosearch and sphinxsearch we will duplicates in root
$PATH which will point to different utilities. This problem can lead
at problems in scripts which will be based on indexer utilitie.

The same situation with search(d).
also the name 'indexer' isn't informative


Could You use prefix for these utilities?

for ex: --program-prefix=sphinx option?
