Yeah, I understood. I'd been thinking it would be nice to be able to tune which one. It actually wouldn't be a matter of "renaming" anything, so much as getting rid of the symlink from one package -- on my arch system for example, * /usr/bin/python is a symlink to /usr/bin/python3 * /usr/bin/python3 is a symlink to /usr/bin/python3.4 In any case, I don't feel terribly strongly, but it feels like it shouldn't be that hard to get the target of that symlink to be user/sysadmin-configurable. -Ian --===============5908470346740712682== MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Description: signature Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc"; charset="us-ascii" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAABAgAGBQJUUxX0AAoJEPZUuMfUyjy4ojwQALb9IZgE3E5wP+0TvYCLSp14 bBbDvyCaMjP49uWR81ZAzsz7YRIMQPEaiZmVU3wxnPeMBRmWlUGqFJcFD1hdMkRe ot9TeSZFLOWFPdwNLNw2lD9+H9ieBgToNNSsFCKDhsxXgm56C+SkglHSV6cgdsnb eNiOyYrCVbES5zuU2HX8CE4YgERKB0KBFsKy99Vx3sZMs0tt8m+xc1+QoF3NsJH/ Fd829LMLkMdKlzTs75aezwQa2rfETGRG7O+ufLDxJA8biECgxOBp5saN7MKPbkbC RN1v5t/NZJ3nhKuhXLqQ77iX1X/aFVfWJmg0NFQzD7Rq4C9H5mGRfvHNwUCz/RBB Y7I2aX1Xfr81rOr/DHjkIo5fy1mLBNN4USedXnof1xU7NFe0u3AUbD6KH5fTeU2e s8AlmDlnvdCdDmz18aK8ld19mlkodUp7B9eOZqcXKxEF8TROuUfUyFQAHy5woLy2 v7K/FsDwTgjogQL0Sg5t1m3XB+KLU7wqhVYe7KQJHyMyCtHcCQqDfwKkBU5YnkGA PL8NsbKuaa1/8gMmSXF1Jb93KbTp/vbJvjPVb20m/eocJCDnzITK4CgEmOB+oHtj sEgR+obJL5LNldrAfUSzSJZ+LLV22OwV0iqDu43nwU99mOSAbRboVsDt+fZSrHd4 TXwVgLu3wUkKVY9u7U75 =Yq4T -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --===============5908470346740712682==--
