As I look at already installed lib* packages I find different answers to this question. some have 3 packages 1) libFOO 2) libFOOX where X comes from the SONAME and contains the .so.x.x.x 3) libFOO-devel And I have seen case like this where the the copyright and other docs is in 1)libFOO I have also seen cases that look like this 1)libFOOX where X comes from the SONAME and contains the .so.x.x.x 2)libFOO-devel and the copyright was in libFOO-devel I have even seen cases where there was a copyright file in the libFOOX package! In the case of a library, which packages get the copyright file and which don't? When is there supposed to be the libFOO package (without the SONAME number)? I can not find where policy on this is documented for open suse. -- Paul Elliott 1(512)837-1096 pelliott@BlackPatchPanel.com PMB 181, 11900 Metric Blvd Suite J http://www.free.blackpatchpanel.com/pme/ Austin TX 78758-3117
