Bug#575357: php5-adodb: Seems to be a duplicate package of libphp-adodb

2010-03-25 Thread Olivier Berger 
Package: php5-adodb
Severity: wishlist

Hi.

When looking at packages libphp-adodb and php5-adodb, one thinks there's a 
duplicate packaging.

It is quite difficult to understand at first sight, that the latter is an 
optimization add-on of the former (if I understand correctly).

Maybe the naming of the packages could be a way to reflect this like -plugins 
do sometimes for some apps.

Something like libphp-adodb-optimizations maybe ?

Hope this helps,

Best regards.

How hard is it to understand the difference right from the summary?

$ search adodb
libphp-adodb - The ADOdb database abstraction layer for PHP
php5-adodb - *Extension optimising* _the ADOdb database abstraction library_
python-adodb - A database abstraction library for python

I don't see how else it could be made any clearer, the whole
description only talks about optimising, replacing and even mentions
that ADOdb automatically picks it up.
There's an Enhances too.

No, libphp-* should only be used for libraries _written in php_,
extensions should use phpX-*
