Package: dx Version: 1:4.4.4-8 Severity: wishlist We have just packaged the "Dalvik Explorer" aka android-platform-dalvik which is always used as the command util 'dx'. This conflicts with OpenDX's /usr/bin/dx, so I propose that OpenDX support /usr/bin/dx using the 'alternatives' system. To do that, the actual /usr/bin/dx binary should be renamed to something else, like '/usr/bin/opendx', then the 'dx' package can claim '/usr/bin/dx' using the alternatives command.
Its quite simple, see how I did it in android-platform-dalvik here: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/android-tools/android-platform-dalvik.git/commit/?id=e0ee10efaca3c0b5db0cac1b2d913ec11c0081b3 -- debian-science-maintainers mailing list debian-science-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/debian-science-maintainers
