Re: Naming for OSSP projects in Debian (libraries, dirs)

I've uploaded my packages to incoming. You can see them at
http://people.debian.org/~dexter/incoming/
We run in naming conflicts with other packages sooner or later.
It would be nice if we can have the same name semantic for this
two OSSP packages. I would propose:
Header files go to /usr/include/ossp/*, e.g. /usr/include/ossp/{sa,uuid}.h
Library start with libossp*, e.g. libossp{sa,uuid}*.
In fact I've already done that. The *.h goes to /usr/include/ossp/ and library
name is libossp-uuid.so. There is no problem with names as far as I've
modified /usr/bin/uuid-config.
The problem is that Debian will become binary incompatible with
foreign programs base on OSSP libraries :( I hope we find a solution
that match the requirements of the OSSP project and Debian.
There are no more distributions which release OSSP libraries, AFAIK.

Hi Peter, In fact I've already done that. The *.h goes to /usr/include/ossp/ and library name is libossp-uuid.so. There is no problem with names as far as I've modified /usr/bin/uuid-config. Ok. I did not upload my packages until now. I will change the library and package name to libossp-sa12 as you did. The include files will also be in /usr/include/ossp as you have done. -- Raphael Bossek -- GMX ProMail mit bestem Virenschutz http://www.gmx.net/de/go/mail +++ Empfehlung der Redaktion +++ Internet Professionell 10/04 +++
