RS> sphinxsearch is a package that provides binaries like searchd, indexer, etc.
RS> I received bug report #573127 which has the correct RS> intention behind it that the binaries should be RS> prefixed. RS> The problem I am seeing is that any change like this RS> would affect modules, plugins, and a lot of programs RS> that interact with SphinxSearch. My particular use case RS> is in Rails where searchd is a hardcoded value in RS> plugins that interact with the daemon. I think now there are few programs which have dependencies on sphinxsearch. On new program we can file bugreports :) I think that the patch of Rails will be simple. RS> What I want to do is mark the bug as wontfix and Conflicts mongosearch-*. I think it would be wrong idea. User would want install both packages. Also, next time we will be able to find out other searchd/indexer programs and will be forced to add another conflicts. I think that this problem should be resolved now, when we have few users and few dependencies. RS> But I am looking for second opinions. What do you think? Another way: using prefixes in deb-package and add alternative for name searchd/indexer/etc. But this case You should file a bugreport for mnogosearch-* to to the same. -- ... mpd is off . ''`.
