tags 661519 pending thanks Hi,
I commited in SVN for PAML a solution which moves all binaries to /usr/lib/debian-med/bin and symlinked all but the evolver binary to /usr/bin. Evolver is in /usr/bin symlinked to paml-evolver. I'm quite uncertain about the choice of the prefix and whether it might make sense to prefix all binaries rather than one or finally using a wrapper called paml. But these details can (and should) be dicsussed here on the Debian Med mailing list. For the moment I would like to draw your attention to the other part of the solution I would like to suggest: Tweaking the PATH for Debian Med users: 1. Make paml Depends: med-config 2. Let med-config drop a script in /etc/profile.d which sets PATH="/usr/lib/debian-med/bin:$PATH" if debconf question "Do you want to prefer Debian Med executables prefered over other ones <bla bla - give reasons + warning>" So if the local admin answers this question with yes all original executable names will be restored fully transparently for the user. I would like to implement this before the Freeze and we should try to update as much relevant packages as possible following this scheme. Perhaps it makes sense to find a common way what symlinks / wrapper to use in /usr/bin but this is a separate decision which is somehow orthogonal to the solution to move all name space pollution affected executables to /usr/lib/debian-med/bin. What do you think? Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-med-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
