Subject: /usr/bin/mason clashes with Mason firewall creation tool
Hi, Mason's /usr/bin/mason clashes with a binary of the same name installed by Mason, the interactive Linux firewall creation tool (see e.g. http://packages.debian.org/sid/mason). Since "the other mason" has been around for over a decade while this Mason 2 is still relatively recent (and /usr/bin/mason is mainly used for development, no?), I thought it would perhaps be less problematic to rename it here rather than there. Would you be open to change /usr/bin/mason to a different name, say /usr/bin/mason2 or /usr/bin/mason-cli? We'll have to come up with a different name for Debian anyway, but of course we'd much prefer to do this together with you. The Debian bug is http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=649066 Florian
I've renamed to mason.pl in Mason 2.15. Sorry for the trouble. Should have remembered about Mason firewall! On Thu Nov 17 12:55:28 2011, fschlich wrote: Show quoted text
