Hi,

I'm working on update libortp[1]. For now, we have package named libortp8 and version 0.20.0. Updating to current release 0.22.0 bumps so from 8 to 9. And now I have a dilemma, should I create a new package named libortp9 and let it reside along with libortp8 or create libortp (and avoid re-adding new package in the future when so gets higher number) and remove libortp8?

1. Multiple source packages may exist, if-f the newest ortp version cannot yet simply be used by some programs. 2. a. Now, the most recent version of a library should be in a source package preferably just called like upstream. b. Any potential past versions (see clause #1) should be put into a source package that does not clash with the name chosen in a. Non-normative notes: 2b is commonly implemented by choosing either the SO-version-based variant something produces (think source package: devel/libraries/c_c++/libexpat0), or by using the version (games/love-0_7_2). (I should put this somewhere into the wiki once I found the right page to add it to.) The basic goal is to avoid having to rename a source package all the time. Speaking of ortp, the source package could probably be called ortp rather than libortp, since the former is the upstream name. Maybe ask upstream if they have any preference. To me, the library also looks like a candidate also be topically placed into network:telephony rather than the generic d:l:c_c++ dump site. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
