The "master" branch post 0.99.6 already has the renamed tools with backward compatibility symlinks. I'll be sending a patch to address an issue raised by some people separately to see what the list thinks, and also will attempt to send out a patch for the Pasky and Catalin heads later this week.I've prepared these and will be sending them out separately to you two, hoping they would help you prepare for post 0.99.7 changes. Note that 0.99.6 does not know about these new names, the current "master" branch knows about both new and old names, so will 0.99.7, and in 0.99.8 the old names will be removed, if things go as planned. Here is a small script that I used before auditing what it did to your trees by running 'git diff' on its result.
Thanks for the notification. I will do an auxiliary release right after 0.99.7 is released. -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Stuff: http://pasky.or.cz/ If you want the holes in your knowledge showing up try teaching someone. -- Alan Cox
