Hi everyone,
On afterthoughts, I believe the naming of the packages built from the
pyfftw source package that I personally maintain should be changed. The
package only entered the main archive recently, so I am expecting this
change not to impact users too much.
Main reasons for the renaming are the following, by order of importance:
- to respect section 3.3 of the Debian Python Policy, regarding "Module
Package Names"
"The binary package for module foo should preferably be named |python-foo| "
- confusion with the existing python-fftw package
- the -fftw3 suffix is meaningless, should the FFTW lib move to version
4 in the future
- the -fftw3 suffix could be useful to FFTW, should upstream decide to
provide their own Python wrappers in the future
Please let me know the best approach to deal with this. I will correct
this too for pyNFFT, which is not yet packaged. Sorry for the newbie
mistake.
Many thanks,
Ghislain
