Control: reopen -1 I think we might as well do it the other way around now. I see that in Ubuntu, the -dev packages were already named libdaxctl-dev and libndctl-dev .
The numbered -dev packages have been in Unstable (only) such a short time I think we don't even need a Provides for the old name. I did an upload today to the NEW queue of libblockdev which depends on ndctl but I used the versionless -dev package name. Other Info --------------- So sometimes, we do include version numbers in the -dev package name. One example is libdazzle. The difference there is that the version number 1.0 is embedded in the includes file path ( /usr/include/libdazzle-1.0/ ) and in the pkgconfig name (libdazzle-1.0.pc) and in the Libs field inside the pkgconfig file. But it's not the soname that's used for the -dev package name. The -dev package is named libdazzle-1.0-dev and not libdazzle-1.0-0-dev . Breno, would you like to do this upload or do you want me to do it? Thanks, Jeremy Bicha
