/usr/games is a swamp for another time I think. I guess it contains
an awful lot of things with clashing names.

Nowadays those name clashes, and the expectation that people writing
games might not be so good about namespace questions as other software
(ha ha ha), might be part of the TBH rather flimsy justification for
/usr/games's existence.

The following package pairs:
1) are co-installable,
2) both ship binaries with the same name, but in different directories
within $PATH (e.g. one in /usr/bin, another in /usr/sbin):


Thanks.

There’s also epiphany (maybe your forgot /usr/games).


Hasn't it been fixed since, um, 2003? (bug #216489)

But you guessed right, I forgot to check /usr/games:

There are a lot of short and generic names in this package. I
appended 'game' to some of them to avoid such conflicts when
originally uploading. 'guess' was added more recently and I must have
forgotten to check.

I don't know if I should carry on adding the suffix to specific
conflicting names, or do what Fedora has done: add 'puzzle-' as a
prefix to all of them. I'm probably not the only one who sometimes
types their names, so the latter could be an annoying change.

Ben.

We should (i) discuss this with upstream (ii) do a transition where we
ship new names for a bit.

So, Simon, if these puzzle names should be qualified to make them more
unique on the PATH, what formulaic change should be made ? My
recommendation would be "sgt-*" on the grounds that that's unlikely to
conflict, although it might of course end up with your initials on a
broken or badly-behaved derivative.

Ian.

"sgt-*" is what I'd have suggested too, since it's the most sensible
abbreviation of the title of the whole puzzle collection.

I hadn't actually considered the risk of crappy derivatives looking
as if I wrote them, but given that they'll probably still be
labelled with my name in places other than their filenames, I don't
think it's something I can get worked up about. Perhaps I shouldn't
have named the whole collection after myself in the first place, but
I couldn't think of a better name at the time and it's too late now.

Cheers,
Simon

That's an awfully generic name for a program which gets run exactly once per
motherboard to figure out some hardware configuration :-(
Not knowing the game I would recommend renaming the nvram-wakeup thingy.

Does this include search across all components of standard $PATH and
across all packages? How did you run this check? I would be interested
in duplicates (shipped by the single package or different packages)
across /bin & /usr/bin; /sbin & /usr/sbin; /lib & /usr/lib and
etc.

Regards,
Dmitrijs.

Ralf Treinen has been running automated tests [0] for file overwrite
conflicts among packags in the archive; Ralf (CCed), maybe you might
be interested in covering conflicts over different pathnames too?

Yes, modulo bugs (see my other message in this thread).


and across all packages?


Yes, on i386 and amd64. If you check kfreebsd-* there's also this one:

ztest: zfsutils zutils

There might be even more if you assume that you can co-install Linux and
kFreeBSD binaries (yay, multi-arch world!).



How did you run this check?


I used a script (attached) to analyse Contents-*.gz files, which you can
find on your favourite mirror. Then I manually filtered some
false-positives.

Hum, thanks for spotting that, but what to do here? Both packages
legitimately ship a ztest. Admittedly it is not very important for
zfsutils, don't know about zutils. Having that said, lots of upstream
tutorials and documentation refers to a ZFS "ztest" tool.

They might be co-installable but not executable (for the time being).
The Linux emulation layer which is featured by kFreeBSD only runs in a
chroot for now.
