Hi,
I have noticed that there is a /usr/bin/tabbed and a /usr/bin/tabbed-
fedora in my F43 system. What is the difference between the two of
them?
No idea. I don't have either of those, not do I know what they're for,
so presumably you installed one or both of them from somewhere. Try
'rpm -qf /usr/bin/tabbed*' to get package info.
Thanks, both are installed from the tabbed rpm in Fedora's official repos.
There is not much info doing 'rpm -qf /usr/bin/tabbed*` of `dnf info tabbed\*`
However, I think I may have got what I was looking for:
$ sudo dnf provides /usr/bin/tabbed\*
tabbed-0.7-7.fc43.x86_64 : Simple Xembed container manager
Repo : fedora
Matched From :
Filename : /usr/bin/tabbed
Filename : /usr/bin/tabbed-fedora
tabbed-user-0.7-7.fc43.x86_64 : Tabbed sources and tools for user
configuration
Repo : fedora
Matched From :
Filename : /usr/bin/tabbed
Filename : /usr/bin/tabbed-user
Installing tabbed-user and running `man tabbed-user` (or tabbed, since it is
linked then through /etc/alternatives/tabbed) seems to indicate that
`tabbed-fedora` is a system build while `tabbed` is the custom-build.
"tabbed" is a link to alternatives. The "tabbed" rpm points it to
"tabbed-fedora" which is the actual executable. If you install the
"tabbed-user" rpm, then it probably switches "tabbed" to run
"tabbed-user" instead. Or at least provides it as an option you could
switch to.
