Renaming a library.

2009-05-26 Thread Charles Plessy

2005-01-14 Thread Jay Berkenbilt
The recent thread on names of library packages on debian-devel made me decide that I made a mistake in naming one of my packages. Specifically, the vips7.10 source package creates four binary packages: libvips7.10, libvips7.10-dev, libvips7.10-tools, and libvips7.10-doc. There's no reason for the
