Then *that*'s what's needed.
Didn't know alternatives supported it.
Only... would you need an alternatives entry for each executable script? (that would be a bit excessive perhaps)
You'll be making symlinks regardless. Might as well use the established system for maintaining them. The management tools and spec macros are already there.
Does update-alternatives support putting files in subdirectories of the alternatives directory? If that is the case setting the scripts directory to a version-specific subdirectory within the alternatives directory then using alternatives to create a generic name and version-specific names in /usr/bin would probably cover all the angles. -Todd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
