Summary: Review Request: ettercap - Network traffic sniffer/analyser https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=231746 ------- Additional Comments From wolfy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 2007-03-12 10:20 EST ------- As far as I know (by all means, please do correct me if I am wrong), there are two options. I'll presume we use ettercap-tui as name of the text-only rpm, ettercap-gui for the full GUI version and "ettercap" for the capability provided; also the names of installed binaries are just for the sake of the theory (on purpose using different names than the package in order to avoid confusion) a) - ettercap-tui installes the binary as tettercap, ettercap-gtk installs it's binary as gettercap - both packages provide "ettercap" - symlinks are treated by the alternatives system, so that which ever of the packages is installed last will win (symlink-wise) yum install ettercap will only install the -gtk version (shorter name) Advantages: - if someone wants to explicitely have any or both versions, there is no problem; - both packages can be updated at will, as needed Disadvantages: - the presence of the text-only version is redundant if the full version exists. - require on alternatives b) - ettercap-tui installes the binary as tettercap, ettercap-gtk installs it's binary as gettercap - both provide "ettercap" - ettercap-gtk obsoletes ettercap-tui Advantage - only one of the packages will be installed at a given time Disadvantage - unless special care is taken (yum --exclude ettercap-tui), a yum update/upgrade will attempt to replace the text-only version with the GUI In both cases "ettercap" could be the name of one of the packages. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
