Hi Anton and List,

thanks for the clarification, packaging is new to me. I will follow that example for lib, lib-dev, lib-src (maybe I have only access to debian-science, then I will look there for a similar example).

Please allow me a question, I have two projects that are closely connected to each other - but also independent in some way:
a) A library 'liblimereg'
b) A command line utility 'limereg' (that uses liblimereg today - but could in theory use something else in the future, or additional libs for that purpose)

The commandline-tool is _not_ meant as a tool for the library. It is meant as a standalone application for end-users that are no programmers, and will have less release cycles than the lib. The lib will have more customers than limereg (maybe OpenCV and ImageMagick, if I'm allowed to).

As upstream (which is me) I use two distinct github projects with different version numbers, branches, prerequisites etc. for both.

Would it in that case make sense to have two packaging projects ? One called 'limereg.lib' for the application and one called 'liblimereg.lib' for the library (containing -dev, -src, -dbg etc.). Or should I try to combine the two upstram-repos in one packaging project ?

Thanks a lot,
Roelof

Hi Roelof,

    If this naming scheme is ok, I will add:
    packages/limereg.git (Shell application for image registration)
    packages/liblimereg.git (Library for image registration - used by
    the shell tool above)
    packages/liblimereg-dev.git (Library with headerfiles)

    Later I could also add liblimereg-dbg (debug symbols) and
    liblimereg-src (sourcecode), if this makes sense.


Hmm, I do not quite understand, why do you need separate git-repo for
each binary? See for example how freeglut library os packaged [1]. There
is also -dev, -dbg and library itself.
