I don't see the point to perfect symmetry: nodejs contains an interpreter while ax25-node contains a daemon and will work out of the box for most people (those that don't need custom scripts). My point is that nodejs without /usr/bin/node is useless. > It also prevents a HAM from deciding to dabble in Node.js while > preserving the 'node' name for their ax25 use. For this point only: Package: nodejs Depends: nodejs-interpreter Conflicts: node -- /usr/bin/node -> /usr/bin/nodejs Package: nodejs-interpreter -- /usr/bin/nodejs But one additional package for people we are not even sure they exist... > I don't really see the point of adding the symlink to nodejs if you're > not putting it in a separate package -- one of the reasons I had for > doing that split was that it might allow us to later provide popcon > stats of the proportion's of node.js users that install the symlink > package as part of evidence to persuade upstream that it might be worth > entertaining a better binary name -- having them both in the same > package discards that information. I doubt that upstream will rename anything after years of use. Upstream also has a community to please. And popcon may just be an indication on the number of our users that are pissed enough to install from source because installing "nodejs" package did not deliver the right command. -- Vincent Bernat ☯ http://vincent.bernat.im printk(KERN_ERR "msp3400: chip reset failed, penguin on i2c bus?\n"); 2.2.16 /usr/src/linux/drivers/char/msp3400.c
