[gentoo-user] ctags exuberant ctags conflict?
Hey all. Wondering, what's the difference between ctags and exuberant-ctags, and why one would take the place of the other? One of my users has pointed out that 'there should be only one', and that he has always used exuberant in the past. Is there a way to safely link exuberant for him without hosing his system? See here: # find /usr/bin/ | grep ctag /usr/bin/exuberant-ctags /usr/bin/ctags I'm not making a lot of sense right now, sorry - only 4 hours of sleep, again. I love kids. :-) -Jeff -- Darth Vader: Impressive. Most impressive. Obi-wan has taught you well. You have controlled your fear. Now, release your anger!

So if you have X/Emacs installed it would explain the existance of /usr/bin/ctags on your system. As for your user... He can simply alias exuberant-ctags to ctags in his .bashrc and be done with it.
