Package: ppmd
Version: 9.1-10
Severity: wishlist
I do "aptitude install ppmd"; I glance at "man ppmd":
SYNTAX
ppmd <e|d> [switches] <FileName[s] | Wildcard[s]>
but when I try "ppmd e testfile", of course I get a "command not
found" - it's /usr/bin/PPMd. This is confusing for users accustomed
to the unix "keep it lowercase" philosophy.
Given that the PPM part just stands for partial pattern matching,
and given that even Lempel, Ziv, Wheeler, Burroughs etc routinely
lose their capital letters on the commandline, it would be nice if a
symlink was provided - compare:
/usr/bin/abiword -> AbiWord
/usr/bin/bitchx -> BitchX
