Dan Williams from NM does not mind the long names: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/networkmanager-list/2011-December/msg00049.html I will change them to match Qt's name convention: libQtModemManager.0.5.0 and libQtNetworkManager.0.9.0 for the libraries and /usr/include/{QtModemManager,QtNetworkManager} for the include directories. I already have the patches for that. If nobody says anything against this change I will push them tomorrow. Thanks Aaron Seigo and Thomas Zander for commenting on this issue and Ben Cooksley for moving the repositories to kdereview. -- Lamarque V.
