Were the old rpms called "gEDA-gaf-...." ? There have been no "official" Debian testing packages of 1.5.4 yet, but I'm hopeful that all .deb and .rpm packages can be named as similar as possible. This helps the gEDA developers and support community to say things like.. "You need to install the 'geda-...' package", and not worry about what distro they are using. 1. I don't believe .deb packages are allowed to have capitalisations in them, so I called my source package "geda-gaf", not "gEDA-gaf". 2. My personal gut feeling was that the debian _binary_ packages will probably retain their current names, (geda-gschem, geda-gattrib etc..), OR.. would be rolled into one uber-package. (geda-gaf) The former is how I rolled my PPA packages for Ubuntu testing. Whilst I have no say in either Ubuntu or Debian packaging, (nor any other distro for that matter), I'd reflect (and other gEDA developers will step in if I'm out of line...) that: The packages under the gEDA/gaf umbrella are canonically referred to as "geda-gschem", "geda-...", (as is used for the translation domains, .mo files, desktop icons etc..). Thus - I'd really prefer to see the generated binary packages called geda-*....rpm as well. I couldn't see (on skimming) any rule which prevented a "geda-gaf" source package prodincing binaries which are "geda-gschem, geda-..." etc.. I did get the feeling that the packaging guidelines you linked me to were framed to respect upstream naming - so perhaps if necessary we could have some input on that before any official packages are released. Do any other of the gEDA developers (or packages) feel strongly on any of the issues above?
