Hi!

In Tumbleweed, I have been using the package qt-creator to develop Qt applications for a long time. I have always complained about the old version, since qt-creator is 3.2.2 and the newest version available is 3.5.1. However, it turns out that the newest version is already available in Tumbleweed under the name libqt5-creator.

Is there any good reason to name the package as libqt5-creator? I think this is very confusing. Since it has a lib* in the name, I did not even look at the description, so I was using a very old version all the time.

Thus, I am wondering if it is possible to change the name of libqt5-creator to qt5-creator or something else.

Best regards, Ronan

Ronan, I'm not a maintainer of that package nor even familiar with it, but I suspect the issue is 2-fold 1) The specfile for libqt5-creator should have a provides: qt-creator That would cause the old qt-creator to be removed when libqt5-creator is loaded. Also zypper up would see libqt5-creator as an upgrade for qt-creator. Not having that appears to be a bug, so a bugzilla is appropriate. 2) As a guess the libqt5-creator spec file should have a qt-creator sub-project. ie. Currently the spec file has: %files %defattr(-,root,root) %doc *GPL* %{_bindir}/* %{_libdir}/qtcreator/ %{_datadir}/qtcreator/ %{_datadir}/icons/hicolor %{_datadir}/applications/qtcreator.desktop %{_datadir}/doc/packages/libqt5/ It seems wrong to me that %{_bindir}/* is in a lib package. I normally would move that into its own sub-project. I don't know that qualifies as a bug, but it may.
