[opensuse-kde] qupzilla package advice needed
Hi mates, I packaged qupzilla in KDE:Extra and also I'm preparing git snapshots in my repo¹. Since some time, qupzilla contains shared library libqupzilla-so. And here we are. Should I put this lib into separate subpackage named 'libqupzilla%{so_version}' and 'libqupzilla.so' into 'libqupzilla-devel' package? Or shoud I keep them all in one package, like now?

Cool, thanks for your work! Basically we (in the KDE: repos) ignore the shared library policy's suggestion to split into subpackages unless the shared lib is used by more than one thing that it might make sense to package separately. Eg if the tarball produced libqupzilla, qupzilla-desktop and qupzilla-mobile you might consider splitting the results into 3 subpackages. If libqupzilla.so is just an implementation detail of qupzilla then keep them together for now.

Ok. Thanks for this info. I'll keep it in single package. -- Pozdrawiam / Best regards, Mariusz Fik openSUSE Community Member GPG: 5FCE 7241 B3B9 32FD 455B C30E 42D6 6C88 9E83 7C3D
