It *does* matter! When I have to open some META file by hand to see its content, it's much more easier to know beforehand (and without looking for it) where it is. For now, the situation is not uniform: most of the people put the META file under +$lib/META, some others put under METAS (but a few¹ of them when looking at the archive's state). ¹: The complete list is: camlidl libcameleon-ocaml-dev libcothreads-ocaml-dev libcryptokit-ocaml libfindlib-ocaml libgmp-ocaml-dev libgraphviz-dev liblablgtk2-gl-ocaml liblablgtk2-gnome-ocaml liblablgtksourceview2-ocaml libllvm-ocaml-2.7-dev libllvm-ocaml-dev libocsigen-xhtml-ocaml-dev libxml-light-ocaml-dev where you can ignore "libfindlib-ocaml" because it puts the META files for the standard library and "libocsigen-xhtml-ocaml-dev" for another reason. -- Mehdi Dogguy مهدي الدڤي http://dogguy.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
