In general, it is always bad if packages pollute the namespace of a global search location like /usr/bin with a filename that is not related to the package name. Why isn't this program called "torque-qstat"? You could patch it and rename it like that. What is the sense in creating such a short and generic name like "qstat"? Is the program useful outside of "torque"? Could it be placed in /usr/libexec/torque/qstat instead if not renamed? Btw, I don't like the growing tendency among packagers to suggest explicit Conflicts in Fedora Extras in favour of working on making packages coexist nicely whether with the help of upstream or not. -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
