Description Christophe Fergeau 2019-04-04 07:59:06 UTC

dnf install origin-clients
dnf install neuron
  file /usr/bin/oc from install of neuron-7.5-5.20181214git5687519.fc30.x86_64 conflicts with file from package origin-clients-3.11.1-1.fc30.x86_64

As origin-clients is older than neuron, I believe it's neuron's oc which should be renamed (to neuron-oc?)

Comment 1 Ankur Sinha (FranciscoD) 2019-04-04 12:21:54 UTC

Well, neuron is definitely older as software: it's been around since 1990. It's certainly newer as a Fedora package, though. 

In neuron, "oc" stands for the "oc" interpreter for the very very old "hoc" language[1,2], so the name is quite apt. "oc" for origin-clients, is not the best name IMO. Any chance upstream would consider using a better name for their binary? If not, I'll go ahead and rename neuron's binary.

I meant it's very new in Fedora, sorry for not being more explicit :)

I'm fairly new in origin/openshift, so I don't know, however given that Red Hat prominently document usage of 'oc' ( for example https://blog.openshift.com/oc-command-newbies/ ), I'd suspect renaming it upstream would be a hard sell.

Comment 3 Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2019-05-15 10:42:49 UTC

I've just hit it trying:

# dnf install /usr/bin/oc

and getting surprised by dnf attempting to install neuron while I was expecting origin-clients.

I think OpenShift is immensely more popular than neuron and I'm afraid it's neuron's oc that has to be renamed in Fedora. Any reason it's not named "hoc"?

Comment 4 Ankur Sinha (FranciscoD) 2019-05-15 11:07:29 UTC

Nothing apart from because upstream called it oc.

It's on my list of todos, but I won't have time to do it this week. Could you please --exclude=neuron* in the meantime? That will install origin-clients.
