Hi,
I am currently trying to split one of my packages (openldap2) according to the shared library packaging policy and I am wondering what the correct package name would be. The SONAME of the main library is: "libldap-2.4.so.2". According to the policy that would make a package name of: "libldap-2.4-2". But AFAIK we have some rule that dots in the package name are not allowed, is that correct? If yes, what would be the correct package name?
libldap-2_4-2 Looks a bit awkward I think, but ok the library versioning of OpenLDAP is somewhat awkward as well ;).
BTW, to keep the required changes in other packages as minimal as possible I will not rename the main development package. That will still be called openldap2-devel. Renaming that would require changes in tons of other packages' Buildrequires.
This is fine and recommended practice unless you envision that we will end up with multiple -devel versions on the same product. Good to know. And no, we don't currently not multiple version of the -devel package.
