Bug#493109: ITP: json-static -- JSON validator and converter for OCaml
Shouldn't the package name include ocaml somewhere? Doesn't ocaml have some sort of standard package/library package-naming convention? Something like this is pretty clearly language specific (many languages have json i/o libraries). Including ocaml in the package name would both be much more convenient for the user (when searching for something like a json support library, often one must wade through a lot of inapplicable packages), and safer against future name collision to include ocaml.

Something like this is pretty clearly language specific (many languages
have json i/o libraries). Including ocaml in the package name would
both be much more convenient for the user (when searching for something
like a json support library, often one must wade through a lot of
inapplicable packages), and safer against future name collision to
include ocaml.
There is a difference between the source package name and the binary package
name.
The source package name is usually not seen by the end user, and I believe
it's good when it is closed to the original project's name.
But the binary package, the one that will be installed by the user will be
called libjson-static-camlp4-dev, so I think it answers your question.

Bug#493109: ITP: json-static -- JSON validator and converter for OCaml
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Romain Beauxis [EMAIL PROTECTED] * Package name: json-static Version : 0.9.6 Upstream Author : Martin Jambon [EMAIL PROTECTED] * URL : http://martin.jambon.free.fr/json-static.html * License : BSD Programming Lang: OCaml Description : JSON validator and converter for OCaml json-static is a tool for converting parsed JSON data with an unchecked structure into specialized OCaml types and vice-versa. It is a complement to the json-wheel library which provides a parser and a (pretty-) printer. By reading a type definition, the preprocessor inserts code that converts between OCaml types (lists, arrays, tuples, objects, polymorphic variants, ...) and untyped JSON data. Those type definitions are written in a syntax which is very close to regular OCaml type definitions. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-3-686 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=UTF-8) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
