Source: bmap-tools Severity: normal Tags: patch Hi,
this is a follow-up of #1032062. The same arguments apply: - bmap-tools with a hyphen contains a tool without a hyphen - bmap-tools is plural but only contains a single tool - upstream changed to yoctoproject and even calls the project bmaptool I'm not suggesting to rename the source package. But when working with bmaptool and even while writing this email I always keep asking myself and end up checking to make sure whether the binary name or the package name was the one with the hyphen or the one with plural "s" at the end. All this confusion could end by naming the binary package after the tool it contains and following the naming of the new upstream at the same time. Here is a patch. I would create a MR on salsa but you still didn't push the recent 3.8 upload. :) --- a/debian/control +++ b/debian/control @@ -20,7 +20,18 @@ Rules-Requires-Root: no Homepage: https://github.com/intel/bmap-tools Package: bmap-tools +Depends: bmaptool, ${misc:Depends} Architecture: all +Priority: optional +Section: oldlibs +Description: transitional package + This is a transitional package.
