Using sym links is a very common practice, as it is common practice for
software releases to have the version #'s as part of the path. I noticed
that even Java has started doing that, plus it includes a sym link
(/usr/java/latest -> /usr/java/jre6.X). Perhaps adding a small install
script that sets the proper sym link?
I currently push, install, and modify my links from a central machine with
trusted SSH. Fairly trivial.
