Hi all,

There's currently a tiny issue regarding the submission of Cinnamon
identified by Coolo and Vincent (assuming). The Muffin package (a fork
of mutter) typelib has the same name that mutter's. Currently
everything seems to work, and though this library is internal to
mutter/muffin it might bring issues in the future.

This was taken upstream which will fix it, but not yet for the next
release (due to the large number of changes required). My question is,
since currently (maybe out of pure luck) we haven't any report of real
issues, could we allow this in Factory until it gets fixed (most
likely before the release 12.2) ?

Furthermore... the typelib package naming policy. In the case of
muffin/cinnamon, the typelib is internal and not public, which
eventually falls out of the current typelib policies (since we are
only considering public typelibs in the policy). Could this be allowed
also:

  - typelib(Meta) = 3.0

Can we have the package named as typelib-3_0-libmuffin-0_0 ? And I
would maybe suggest that internal typelib's could be packaged that
way, so we have a distinction just by looking at the package name we
know that:

  * libmuffin has a internal typelib (we don't know if it's Meta or
anything else, but we can easilly find out with "rpm -qp --provides
package").
