AFAIK
RHEL
packager
renamed

to
cyr_quota
Why
do
they
do
things
like
that...
I
did
the
renaming
when
cyrus-imapd
was
initially
updated
to
version
3
in
Fedora,
precisely
because
the
command
name
is
conflicting.
RHEL
inherited
that
packaging.
Historically
cyrus-imapd
contains
a
number
of
conflicting
names
for
various
things,
which
seems
to
have
been
tolerated
because
the
executables
are
often
not
installed
into
the
usual
paths
for
executables.
Things
like
quota,
restore
and
fetchnews.
A
number
of
manpages
have
to
additionally
be
renamed
into
an
"8cyrus"
section
(because
otherwise
you
get
conflicts
on,
say,
httpd.8
even
though
the
httpd
executable
itself
isn't
installed
into
a
usual
executable
path).
In
any
case,
cyr_quota
and
other
renaming
were
used
only
after
consultation
with
the
Cyrus
developers.
My
understanding
was
that
they
intended
to
eventually
make
that
renaming
official
upstream,
but
because
I'm
no
longer
really
involved
in
Cyrus
packaging
I
do
not
yet
know
if
that
has
happened.

Thanks
Jason,
that
makes
sense
-
it
just
caught
me
by
surprise
when
the
commands
I
had
used
in
Cyrus
2.4
were
not
there
anymore,
and
nothing
obvious
was
documented...
after
getting
the
info
on
this
thread
I
then
looked
at
the
file
list
for
the
package
and
it
all
then
made
sense.
It
is
still
counter-intuitive
though
to
do
e.g.
"man
cyr_quota"
and
be
presented
with
a
page
headed
"quota".
At
the
very
least
perhaps
a
comment
on
the
cyrus-imapd
upgrade
and
RH
package
pages
would
be
useful.
Simon.
