Bug 704134 – sys-apps/yarn should install a /usr/bin/yarnpkg symlink

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Max Magorsch (RETIRED) 2019-12-29 00:13:09 UTC]

All yarn binaries are installed into /usr/$(get_libdir)/node_modules/yarn/bin However, only a symlink for yarn is created. A symlink for yarnpkg is missing. This applies to all ebuild versions and is important, as, for example, rails applications use yarnpkg instaed of yarn by default. 
  

Furthermore, it can be easily fixed by adding: 
dosym "../$(get_libdir)/node_modules/yarn/bin/yarnpkg" "/usr/bin/yarnpkg"


Reproducible: Always

Debian calls it yarnpkg (and only yarnpkg) now:
