I think we'll want to consider compatability symlinks > due to existing hardcoded paths in scripts. Creating the compat symlinks should be as easy as adding the following lines to the Makefile: SYMLINKS= ${BINDIR}/pgrep /usr/bin/pgrep SYMLINKS+= ${BINDIR}/pkill /usr/bin/pkill Hopefully they can be removed after a certain period of time. Should we just override BINDIR in the Makefile and let the things settle before requesting the repo-copy? -- Yar
