Thanks for your work, this is a great program. I've been using it for years.

Every time I do a yum update and Amazon updates boto, it over writes the s3 commands (sym links) and I have to reinstall aws.

Just wondering if there's a way around this?

I'm glad you like "aws". Thanks for the feedback!

Interesting about the s3* ommands. I don't use that syntax, preferring the "aws ls" type syntax. I guess the fundamental problem is that there are multiple packages that have the same commands, which isn't very common. Maybe you could remove write permission of the symlinks? Of course, you are installing boto as root, so those permissions might be ignored. I don't know enough about yum to help you. Sorry!
