Agreed. Hyphens in libnames don't look pleasing to my eye (fwiw), libfossilscm (cc ... -lfossilscm ...) might be next best to disambiguate from potential collision w/ another libfossil, though it too is pretty ugly looking.
Brief search yields https://github.com/paulfitz/libfossil as second hit (after this very discussion). I also searched for libfsl, which appears to be claimed, I didn't look into what that project is. -bch On 8/21/13, Chad Perrin <c...@apotheon.net> wrote: > On Wed, Aug 21, 2013 at 07:45:53PM +0200, Stephan Beal wrote: >> On Wed, Aug 21, 2013 at 7:43 PM, Mark Janssen <mpc.jans...@gmail.com> >> wrote: >> > >> > +1 for libfossil.
