Hi Ming, Steve, others,
I did the merge and rename of this library package, so I think I should answer as well: On Tuesday 29 November 2005 11:03, Steve Langasek wrote: > On Mon, Nov 28, 2005 at 10:09:00AM -0600, Ming Hua wrote: > > On Tue, Nov 15, 2005 at 06:28:05AM +0100, Matthias Klose wrote: > > > * Rename and rebuild the libraries listed below.

For the first cxx transition during Breezy development, I renamed libatlas-cpp-0.5 to libatlas-cpp-0.5c2 because this was our plan. Every package without c102 (from old ABI changes) will get c2 and the other library packages with a c102 suffix, the c102 will be removed. For Debian there was another decision, and it's in the responsibilty of the Debian package maintainer, if he wants to rename or not. (If I recall the mail correctly). > > > 2.

If the package was being renamed because of an soname > change, then there'd be no need for the c2a; but since the package is being > renamed *only* because of the C++ ABI change, being consistent is important > because there way be other packages in the wild named libatlas-cpp-0.6-0c2 > which *aren't* using the final mt allocator ABI. For now, I renamed atlas-cpp-0.5.98-1 from Debian, the renaming of the Debian package was done in 0.5.98-2, so even with the new package I would rename it to c2a, to have a proof that it's compiled against the libstdc++ new allocator, actually this was M. Kloses plan if I understand him correctly for Ubuntu. Regards, \sh
