FR: CentOS/RHEL symlink redis-cli binary in $PATH #4 #8

Open enbrnz opened 4 years ago

enbrnz commented 4 years ago

On CentOS/RHEL we install redis-tools from Software Collections. These packages don't make redis-cli universally executable by symlinking the installed binary from a $PATH directory

xoxys commented 4 years ago

Thats expected behavior because scl tools are designed to be installed isolated beside the OS packages.

See https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2017/10/18/use-software-collections-without-bothering-alternative-path/

xoxys commented 4 years ago

Mixing scl with OS packages/PATH could cause issues on user systems

enbrnz commented 4 years ago

Nice, thanks for the tip. So I guess we can close this issue and just tell anybody who asks to install the {redis,php,mariadb}-syspaths package in the future. Do you agree?

There are no syspath packages for redis or php

TODO: Check what syspath does, other options are symlinks, or simple wrapper scripts:

#!/usr/bin/env sh 

set -eo pipefail  
exec /path/to/rh/binary "$@"
xoxys commented 3 years ago

I've checked the MongoDB syspath package. No real magic, it also just creates wrapper scripts for the binaries and symlinks for everything else e.g. manpages or systemd unit files. I'll prepare a PR to add similar behavior.
