[opensuse-packaging] nginx-0.8?
Hi, There's a package "nginx-0.8" in Factory. Yes the NAME includes "-0.8", including the dot. Why isn't the package simply called "nginx"? It's really counter intuitive to find it that way. It's obviously not made for parallel installation either. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

It should be 0.9 ... ;) and yes, IMHO it should be just called "nginx" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
0.9 is development yet and 0.7 is legacy but stills in development.
We have 3 versions in development right now, even that we don't have a
nginx-0.7 in OBS the name nginx-0.8 is for parallel installation (we
shall get a 0.9 as soon as It get stable).
And then you will be able to choose between 0.8 or 0.9 series...

It cannot be installed in parallel, /usr/sbin/nginx is the main binary in the 0.8 version. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

As Marcus already wrote the package is not prepared for parallel installation at all. None of the contained files is in a versioned subdir. There's still the option to put other versions in versioned subdirs and keep 0.8 as the recommended one. In that case the package should simply be called "nginx". If at some point in time another version is the stable, recommended one that new version can be put in the "nginx" package, obsoleting the old, versioned package. I've never seen any package putting a dot in it's name though so the convention for the versioned package should be to replace the dot with an underscore, similar to the shared library policy. IOW mv nginx-0.8 nginx mv nginx-0.9 nginx-0_9 cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
Cause I am the initiator of puttung nginx to OpenSuSE please create a bugzilla entry and assign it to me. Greetings Stefan Am 08.02.2011 09:13, schrieb Ludwig Nussel:

I recently talked with the former autobuild team if we are allowed to have packages with dots in their names in the distribution (this would help packaging Java stuff immensely!). They were strictly against that for reasons undisclosed to me.

that the package went in with a dot, was an oversight. darix -- openSUSE - SUSE Linux is my linux openSUSE is good for you www.opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

no it shouldnt. 0.9 is unstable.

no it shouldnt. given upstream has the habit of maintaining up to 3 branches in parallel, we started to maintain them in that naming scheme, to avoid having to rename packages everytime upstream opens a new branch. darix -- openSUSE - SUSE Linux is my linux openSUSE is good for you www.opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

There is no rename involved. You create new packages for new branches anyways. Having no main package just makes things complicated wrt distro upgrades. Also I still think that having a package name that looks like version-release is just confusing. There should be a policy against it. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
