What the heck is sendpage?
Comment 2 Steve Arnold archtester gentoo-dev 2008-12-05 01:57:16 UTC
I'm still not sure what you expect me to do with this one...  The hylafax sendpage command is one of the core internal executables that gets called by all the client apps (including hylafax) so renaming it is an extreme last-resort option.

I'd suggest making it a blocker; since hylafax already has pager support:

http://www.hylafax.org/content/Handbook:Alpha-numeric_pager_support:Setting_up_Pagesend

So I really don't see why you'd need both packages installed on the same server.

If it is not to be used by users, it should probably become /usr/libexec/halyfax-sendpage . Otherwise, blockers on both packages to let the user know that they can't be installed together.

!net-misc/hylafax atom has been added to net-dialup/sendpage dependencies.
Comment 5 Steve Arnold archtester gentoo-dev 2008-12-21 18:23:47 UTC
Added blocker for net-dialup/sendpage (see bug#248091).   Changing the location of sendpage in Hylafax would cause too many new bugs; might take another look in the future if there's really a need, but this should suffice for now.
