Hmmm, I thought that was going to happen.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=450323#c16

Down at the bottom of that comment I said:

BTW having a binary called /usr/bin/parser is probably a bad idea.
How do Debian package this file? They usually rename such generic
names ('coqparser' or the like). If Debian rename it, then we should
do so too.

We checked Debian, and in fact they ship this as /usr/bin/parser too,
which is why we left it.

Not sure what is the best thing to do here:

(1) Rename it and thus be inconsistent with both upstream & Debian.

(2) Rename Coda's "parser" (breaking things?)

(3) Leave it and tell people that they can't install both packages at
once(!)

As the coda packager, let me add the following usefull info (not) I've no idea
what will break with regards to coda if this binary is renamed. It seems to be
a utility which gets called from other coda processes.


Any coda experts here?


(3) Leave it and tell people that they can't install both packages at

So ... it should probably be moved to %{_libexecdir}/coda/parser, no?

Maybe, I haven't investigated that close yet, as I simply don't have the time
for it. Given thatb packages which contain /usr/bin/parser are pretty obscure
packages, the chances of a user actually hitting this problem are small.


That does not mean that it should not be fixed, but that does make it a low
priority thing for me.


Patches (from people who have done their homework and know exactly for what and
when "parser" in coda is used) are welcome.

Hans

Alan Dunn has asked Coq upstream if it is possible for them to rename
this program so it's less generic.

We should definitely rename one or both /usr/bin/parser's. The steps
should be something like this:


1) Contact upstream and ask if they are amenable to renaming the binary
in their next release. Then try to rename our binary now.


2) If upstream isn't willing to, see if we can at least get the blessing
to do it locally with a given name.


3) Check with other distros (Maybe Debian now but discuss on
distributions-list@freedesktop.org about keeping a distro-wide list) if
they've seen the problem/would be willing to rename their binaries.


4) Do the rename locally.

Upstream said the name should probably be changed and that they have
done so in the past with previous binaries in the package. While that
isn't a solid commitment to doing it in the next version, I would say
it's probably good enough to change it, which I'm going to do now.

Out of interest, what was the new name? I'll alert Debian ...
