Hi! This wishlist was recently brought to my attention, as something that could be added via dh-exec. I have a couple of ideas for the syntax:
1) usr/bin/djview3 => usr/bin/djview3 This is the existing syntax for dh-exec-install-rename, which does a copy behind the scenes. For this feature, it would need to do a rename. I do not want to break existing functionality, so if I go with this syntax, we will need a flag to tell dh-exec to do a move instead of copy. Something like -Oinstall-rename=move or --move-files. Or, following existing syntax: --with-scripts=install-movefiles. I am leaning towards this last one. 2) => usr/bin/djview3 Kind of like the rename syntax, but only with the second part of it. This is shorter, and does not need additional flags on the #! line. But it does not allow renaming with a move. I suppose that is not particularly important, seeing that I know of no such request. 3) A combination of both. By default, install-movefiles would come after install-rename, thus the latter would rewrite the src => dest form before install-move gets there. With a --with-scripts argument, movefiles would win the race instead. Having dumped this here, I will go with the third option. Thank you for listening. -- |8]
