Bug ID: 40840 Summary: Making all utilities callable from /usr/bin Product: Wine Version: 1.9.12 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: sworddragon2@aol.com Distribution: ---
I'm noticing that some applications like regedit are wrapped with a script in /usr/bin but others like uninstall not. Maybe this can be enhanced that all utilities are callable from /usr/bin.

--- Comment #1 from Alexandre Julliard julliard@winehq.org --- We don't want to put generic names like 'uninstall' in /usr/bin, that's too likely to conflict with other applications.

--- Comment #2 from sworddragon2@aol.com --- What about prefixing them similar to winecfg like wineregedit and wineuninstall? Common names could still be symlinked then like regedit to keep them available if this is still wanted (or for legacy reasons).

--- Comment #3 from Alexandre Julliard julliard@winehq.org --- Uninstaller should arguably have been prefixed with wine, but it's too late to change it now. Names like 'regedit' are expected by Windows apps, we can't rename them.
We could add aliases, but you can already do 'wine regedit' etc. so it wouldn't buy much.

If uninstaller is an own name and should have already been prefixed but it's too late now the idea with the alias could possibly still apply then here.
