Always? IBM's DX has been around since 1991. :) > This conflicts with > OpenDX's /usr/bin/dx, so I propose that OpenDX support /usr/bin/dx using > the 'alternatives' system. I don't believe the 'alternatives' system is the way to solve this. From: "The Debian alternatives system creates a way for several programs that fulfill the same or similar functions to be listed as alternative implementations that are installed simultaneously but with one particular implementation designated as the default." Clearly Dalvik Explorer's /usr/bin/dx and OpenDX's /usr/bin/dx do not fulfil the same or similar functions. I'm CC-ing the Debian Science list as I am sure similar situations have been resolved in the past, and hopefully someone will suggest possible solutions.
