If "git command" vs "git-command" is the only incompatibility, it should be trivial to provide the latter in the package with tiny wrapper scripts or even just one that parses $0 and add symlink to it for each needed command, or install that script multiple times with different names and hardlink them if wanted, or... (see for example rpmdev-md5, rpmdev-sha* and friends in rpmdevtools). _______________________________________________ epel-devel-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/epel-devel-list
