With new batch ability, we can use below simple 2 lines for multiple alternatives
updates:
ALTERNATIVE_LINKS = "${bindir}/cmd1 {sbindir}/cmd2 ..."
ALTERNATIVE_PRIORITY = "100"
Then for each command "/path/cmd" listed in ALTERNATIVE_LINKS, below is done
automatically:
${D}/path/cmd is renamed to ${D}/path/cmd.{PN}
a new alternative named 'cmd' is created which:
links /path/cmd to /path/cmd.{PN} with priority specified in ALTERNATIVE_PRIORITY
This way the recipe with multiple alternatives could be simplified a lot. There
are still some cases where above assumptions may break, but I expect more recipes
should benefit from this simple enhancement
