Hi all,
I have a question about the right name to give to a package of the IT++
library (package review request here ->
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1264686, any review - and
also sponsorship, I need one! - is welcome).
Some info:
- the actual name of the library is 'IT++', according to their web page
and documentation http://itpp.sourceforge.net/4.3.1/;
- the package used to be called 'itpp' in former versions of the spec in
Fedora (now dead, since 2011);
- the installed library comes out from the build process as
'libitpp.so*', but all headers are under %{_includedir}/itpp, of course
contain a lot of #include <itpp/someheader.h>, and of course all HTML
documentation is written accordingly (basically, everything is called
itpp*, except the actual lib file, which is called libitpp.so);
- the package is named 'libitpp' in other distros, e.g. Ubuntu, openSUSE.
So I think we have two options:
1) use 'itpp' as the name of the package, which corresponds to the
include dir name, but not to the lib file name (libitpp.so); in this
case we will have:
%{_libdir}/libitpp.so*
%{_includedir}/itpp
%{_datadir}/itpp
%{_docdir}/itpp (<- comes out from %doc directive)
2) use 'libitpp' as the name of the package, but leaving the include dir
named as %{_includedir}/itpp (since all headers and documentation
contain several #include <itpp/someheader.h>); in this case:
%{_libdir}/libitpp.so*
%{_includedir}/itpp
%{_datadir}/itpp or %{_datadir}/libitpp (we can change this)
%{_docdir}/libitpp (<- comes out from %doc directive)
What do you think it is the best? (atm in the review we are using choice
2, but choice 1 seems more tidy).
Marco
