[opensuse-packaging] Lib name ends with a number
Hi, I am currently building a library package that name ends with a number (libfido2) and the version is 0.2.0. The naming convention says it have to end with the major version, but in this case is 0. The package name could be libfido20. But it is a bit confusing. With solution is preferred here?

IIUC correctly, library packages are named after the SONAME. What's the SONAME of the library? -- Stefan Seyfried "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled." -- Richard Feynman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org

Then I *think* (but I'm by no way an expert for these issues ;-) the package name should be libfido2-0 -- Stefan Seyfried "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled." -- Richard Feynman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org

That indeed looks like the preferred practice. Some examples of packages with libraries with number at the end of their name: * libx265-151 * libX11-6 * libtelepathy-qt5-0 Michal -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org

It's not just preferred practice, it is explicitly spelled out so. https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Shared_library_packaging_policy : """to avoid ambiguities, a dash is inserted between two numbers""" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
