I don't know if I want *more* alternatives usage in Fedora. I like the
fact that a basic buildroot is generally supposed to work without
scriptlets... On the other hand, I think we're already using
alternatives for ld...
Aside from making it possible to swap the system compiler with
alternatives, what benefit do we get? Are there other, less script-y
approaches that we could use?
We could have a cc-is-gcc and cc-is-clang conflicting packages with /ur/bin/cc and:
- require /usr/bin/cc from gcc and from clang
- suggest cc-is-gcc from gcc
- suggest cc-is-clang from clang
That gets rid of the scriplets, but creates a nontrivial resolving chaos. Also
when installing gcc and clang at the same time, we would not be able to
trivially give cc-is-gcc higher priority unless we maybe suggest it from
fedora-release, but that's... meh.
We could mix in some recommends, but the current behavior would probably try to
install it on every upgrade, so not sure if that works.
