[Sfw-team] [OpenIndiana Distribution - Bug #782] automake package does not install `automake`

[illumos project]

Issue #782 has been updated by Julian Wiesener.

Assigned to set to OI SFW

there are two automake versions pkg:/developer/build/automake-110 and pkg:/developer/build/automake-19 at 1.9.6-0.148. I suppose at least one version should ship a /usr/share/automake and /usr/bin/aclocal symlink to make autogen.sh work for most users with no change.

I would prefere 1.10.

Bug #782: automake package does not install `automake`
https://www.illumos.org/issues/782

Author: Matt Connolly
Status: New
Priority: Normal
Assigned to: OI SFW
Category: 
Target version: 


The package `developer/build/automake-110` does not install the `automake` or `aclocal` commands. (As those names, at least).

For example:
# pkg install developer/build/automakte-110
# automake
... not found error

It installs `/usr/bin/automake-1.10` and the user is required to do this:
# ln -s /usr/bin/automake-1.10 /usr/bin/automake
# ln -s /usr/bin/aclocal-1.10 /usr/bin/aclocal

to be able to use the commands in the expected manner.

Is it possible to update the package installer to create these symlinks?

Especially in the case where a user installs only one version of automake, there is no need to manually resolve the version.
