[Ubuntu] QGIS-Mapserver rename
I support the rename of qgis-mapserver to qgis-server. However is it possible with deb rules to select qgis-server for install when uninstalling qgis-mapserver via upgrade? Perhaps an alias package temporarily (transition package). So that people aren't left wondering why their install stops working after the upgrade to 2.6.

Re: [Ubuntu] QGIS-Mapserver rename
You can add a provides field to the debian/control file. So qgis-server provides qgis-mapserver. https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-virtual Johan On Tue, Nov 11, 2014 at 9:18 PM, Alex Mandel tech_...@wildintellect.com wrote: I support the rename of qgis-mapserver to qgis-server.

Re: [Ubuntu] QGIS-Mapserver rename
I should add that you probably want to add a replaces/breaks as well, because upgrading from qgis-mapserver to qgis-server may otherwise give errors (if the old mapserver is still there it will give conflicts when installing the new one).
