Hello, I've been maintaining and using a .so package of: http://freshmeat.net/projects/jbigkit for some time in a home repo, and recently got it added to graphics: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=jbig-kit&project=graphics Next I want to submit it for inclusion in Factory so that it can then be used to add jbig support to libtiff, hylafax, ghostpdl, ghodtscript, others. Some of these already have jbig support but it's via direct code inclusion. But for example ./configure in current libtiff will automatically find and use the jbig include files and shared lib if the package above is installed. The change to the tiff3 .spec is merely to add jbigkit-devel to buildrequires. I've been doing that in my home repo for a while. However before submitting to Factory I want to see if the package name should be changed so that we're not either stuck with a stupid name forever, or change the name sometime later after it's been in use already. The only reason the package name is "jbigkit" or "JBIG-KIT" is because that's the name of the upstream tar. the only reason the upstream tar is named that is because that's what that is, a kit for demonstrating jbig and devoloping with it. The upstream code is really meant to be included directly within other programs, not packaged as a shared library. But the library itself is just "jbig" or "jbig2" So request for comments, I think I should: * Change the base package name to just jbig or jbig%{major}. * Have only the sample binaries and docs in the base package. * Move the libraries into a libjbig%{major} package Basically just like jpeg https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file?file=jpeg8.spec&package=jpeg8&project=graphics&srcmd5=c2bb64fe01a14d7a791f3b387357628e And pretty much ignore the fact that the upstream tar is named "jbig-kit". The installed stuff is not a "kit" but a finished product that uses the original kit. -- bkw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
