I think now there are few programs which have dependencies
on sphinxsearch. On new program we can file bugreports
I think that the patch of Rails will be simple.
RS> What I want to do is mark the bug as wontfix and Conflicts mongosearch-*.
I think it would be wrong idea. User would want install both packages.
Also, next time we will be able to find out other searchd/indexer
programs and will be forced to add another conflicts. I think that
this problem should be resolved now, when we have few users and few
dependencies.
RS> But I am looking for second opinions. What do you think?
Another way: using prefixes in deb-package and add alternative for
name searchd/indexer/etc. But this case You should file a bugreport
for mnogosearch-* to to the same.
