Hi Emmanuel,

I’m no loner active maintainer of zimlib but I’m just talking from
pacakaging convention followed by Debian - a library is named based on
lib<library name><major version> where major version is major part of
soname. And that is precisely followed here libzim7 indicating 7 as major
release number.

I don’t think rename is needed and don’t see your point as well. As eg
glibc is called libc6 libbpf is called libbpf0 and so on.

I don’t think renaming is needed and even worth to follow here which
requires at least a distro release to get rid of old name ans transition
packages.

That is my opinion also having an extra 7 doesn’t hurt. People can search
package by libzim and description should give information of same.

Thanks and Regards
