Hello, All!
Forgot to mention the Cc in my post to debian-develop, sorry, might be
you receive some mail wrt. to our future in the next days.
Somebody who objects naming the *Source* packages of all your wonderful
libs *in the Debian archive* to ggi-libraryname (eg.: ggi-libwmh,
ggi-piggy)? That is because piggy seems so generic :), also does libgpf.
(In the process of writing the description for wmh: it pulls me to use
libggi-libwmh as the source name instead of ggi-libwmh, or -extwmh? and
the binary?: is libggi-extwmh, might be libggi-ext-wmh, or ggi-ext-wmh
or what? See? Pls. help me out ;) My (current) prefs: src:ggi-libwmh,
libggi-ext-wmh-x (shortest, meets libggi-{sample,target}s-, but may be
libggi2-ext-wmh1-target-x might be more descriptive/correct/necessary?)
I _love_ systems, but why is gpf an *extension* vs. lib? (sorry for
that, but sometimes its a little much for my poor head to stretch from
GGI(packages) on bloated user pc's, over embeddian down to autogens',
licenses all on the way, back through the Gate Great Interface - "don't
stay too long, don't hang around, get back to apt!"
Aahh, yes, and back we are ;)
Somebody who objects naming the *Binary* packages of all your wonderful
libs *in the Debian archive* to libggi-libname and libggi-extname (this
is not as generic as the Source thing, there are already eg.
libggi-target-fbdev, libggi-samples)? libggi-ext-name? Looks better,
adds another char to the length ...
As always, 'historical reasons' can be given, when 'libgii', 'libggi',
and 'svgalib4libggi' should live on with these names for their *source*
packages. I'd rename existing libggimisc to any scheme and keep those
names: gii, ggi don't need libggi :P and svgalib is, well, svgalib.
Have a nice GGI :-), martin
PS. I can talk about that naming thing even longer, wanting it to be as
general as can be and with least DPI changes (Debian Package
Interface:) as possible (the collected list of Replaces and Conflicts
becomes harder to manage everytime). If someone wants to start ...?
