naming conflict with time daemon #8

Closed trifle closed 13 years ago

trifle commented 13 years ago

"timed" is the binary name of timed, the BSD time daemon[1]. This means that timed, the time tracker, can't be run/installed on any BSD-based machine including those running Mac OS X. (At least not without ln-fu).

Painful as it may be, I'd recommend moving to another (possibly even shorter?) binary name.

You should install it to somewhere other than /usr/bin, like /usr/local/bin (and put export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH in your .bashrc file). I wouldn't recommend using the Python in /usr/bin anyway, you should use a package manager like Homebrew to install it.
