Hello all,
I maintain Multi-Master Replication Manager for MySQL in both Fedora and EPEL. With
changes from 2.0.11 -> 2.1.0 there was an incompatible change in that the daemon
scripts were renamed:
mmmd_agent -> mmm_agentd
mmmd_mon -> mmm_mond
I think this will need someone from Fedora packaging to comment versus
EPEL (as that would have precedence.) My un-educated opinion is that
there would not be a problem with symlinks if its for files. [Symlinks
for directories I think causes RPM heartburn somewhere but thats a
vague recollection.]
Upgrades obviously break because the INIT scripts and configuration
files reference the path to the files. Would a sufficient work-around be a symlink to the
old path, or would that not be kosher for any reason?
Thank you for your feedback.

Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp. Or what's a heaven for?
