From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Mo DeJong To: insight@sources.redhat.com Subject: Lets rename insight to "insight" (imagine that) Date: Thu, 16 Nov 2000 13:38:00 -0000 Message-id: X-SW-Source: 2000-q4/msg00230.html Ok, I just can't take it anymore. For some time, I have put up a constant stream of bug reports and requests for help related to the naming of Insight. The most common seem to be: 1. How do I start insight? 2. I keep getting this --enable-external-editor error when I try to run Insight from inside Source-Navigator. 3. Help, I can't run gdb after installing Insight. What is the cause of these problems? The unfortunate naming of the Insight executable. For some reason it is called "gdb". This is in despite of the fact that it is clearly not the gdb that most people expect to get when typing the command "gdb". I suggest we change the name of the Insight executable to "insight". This will make things far more intuitive and will save us time and money in the long run. I would also like to get Insight installed on the default Red Hat release, but that is not currently possible because /usr/bin/gdb is already taken. Why is it like this? Well, as far as I can tell the only reason is "because it has always been that way". Well, I am sick of it! We don't have a good reason to keep it the way it is. In fact, there are many good reasons to change it. So lets change it. Comments? Mo DeJong Red Hat Inc
