[opensuse-factory] libstdc++5-devel
Today as I looked into my package list $ rpm -qa 'libstdc*' libstdc++-devel-4.8-10.1.x86_64 libstdc++48-devel-4.8.3+r218481-2.1.x86_64 libstdc++5-devel-5.0.1+r222226-1.2.x86_64 libstdc++6-32bit-4.8.3+r218481-2.1.x86_64 libstdc++6-gcc5-5.0.1+r222226-1.2.x86_64 The libstdc++5 name seems unfortunately chosen.

The libstdc++5 name seems unfortunately chosen.
;) It's choosen after the GCC version number which is 5 (appearantly you installed gcc5-c++). But yes, it may look confusing. But it's also just a name... (the "real" libstdc++.so.5 devel package is called libstdc++33-devel) In the end we could have gone with a more verbose naming scheme using 'gcc$version' whenever a package name doesn't already contain 'gcc'. Thus used libstdc++gcc5-devel (or libstdc++-gcc5-devel) and libgcj-gcc5-devel, libffi-gcc5-devel (that are the only lib*-devel packages). Not sure anyone cares enough to change this now though.

I would care enough. Would you take a patch/sr? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I'll do it myself then. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
