[opensuse-kde] herqq package naming
openSUSE:Factory rejected the herqq package because it doesn't comply with library naming conventions. It was suggested I use a name like libherqq0. There is a complication, however: there is no libherqq. There are two different libraries provided by the package: libHUpnp.so.1 [.0[.0]] libQtSolutions_SOAP-2.7.so.1 [.0[.0]] However, the name of the tarball is: herqq-1.0.0.tar.bz2 There is also a -devel package whose name needs to be considered So I see several possible solutions to this: 1. libherqq1 and libherqq1-devel 2. libherqq1 and herqq-devel 3. libhupnp1 and libhupnp1-devel 4. libhupnp1 and herqq-devel 5. libhupnp1, libQtSolutions_SOAP1, and herqq-devel 6. libhupnp1, libQtSolutions_SOAP1, libhupnp1-devel, and libQtSolutions_SOAP1-devel (this seems to be how Ubuntu does it) 5 and 6 are more complicated, but with reciprocal requires it shouldn't complicate the installation. Those approaches also better follow library naming conventions. 1 and 2 follow the tarball name, but do not reflect the name of the library. 3 and 4 reflect the name of the library, but hide the fact that there is another library in there. Considering this is a complicated and unusual case, I would prefer to have someone with more experience and a better feel for the long-term implications make the decision. I know I am not supposed to be messing with packages in KDF right now, but this isn't part of the update and I need to submit a new version to openSUSE:Factory ASAP in order to make sure it gets in, so please let me know right away. -Todd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

So I see several possible solutions to this:
1. libherqq1 and libherqq1-devel 2. libherqq1 and herqq-devel 3. libhupnp1 and libhupnp1-devel 4. libhupnp1 and herqq-devel 5. libhupnp1, libQtSolutions_SOAP1, and herqq-devel 6. libhupnp1, libQtSolutions_SOAP1, libhupnp1-devel, and libQtSolutions_SOAP1-devel (this seems to be how Ubuntu does it)
I would be happy with 5. Which is how we usually do it, so its easy to find out -devel package name. 6 is just too complicated to be worthwhile imho.

I'll approve this since it doesn't affect the release.

I think according to http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Shared_library_packaging_policy it should be libHUpnp1 and libQtSolutions_SOAP-2_7-1. For the devel package I think herqq-devel is the best solution.

This seems to be a misunderstanding. The name herqq for the package is perfectly fine. Just herqq-libs as a subpackage was rejected. Leave that out in favor of real shared library packaging.

I don't think there was a misunderstanding in that aspect. I was not talking about changing the OBS package name, but rather those of the RPM packages that it generates (what you are calling subpackages). We are just using a different definition of "package". Of course if I had gone with option 3 than that would probably require changing the OBS package name as well, for all of the other options the OBS name would have stayed the same and only the RPM names would change. -Todd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
