Well, the final goal is to move those two libraries to ModemManager and NetworkManager's repositories in the future. If I rename them now I will probably have to rename them back in the future. I think will have to ask this to NetworkManager guys now. What names do you suggest? libmodemmanager-qt and libnetworkmanager-qt? I do not see any other more descriptive name. Another suggestion is libQtModemManager and libQtNetworkManager, which follows Qt's library name convention. I think will stick to the latter. Just let me check with the NetworkManager guys if there is any problem using Qt's library name convention instead of NM"s. -- Lamarque V.
