Having subpackages that do not have the SRPM name as a prefix is terrible on tools adn scripts and should be avoided. Why not lzma-sdk-java lzma-sdk-sharp etc.? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ville Skyttä" <ville.skytta@xxxxxx> To: fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, June 25, 2009 1:45:06 AM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: Re: doubt regarding package name > Rakesh Pandit wrote: > > https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=504521 > > > > Will SevenZip be apt name for this. if no?

I'd use lzma-sdk for the source rpm, and lzma-java for the Java package created out of it (no main package). And if the C# bits are later packaged out of it as well, use lzma-sharp for that. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
