There was an older (archived now) attempt to package this library: Bug #34188
In this ld ITP, the library got the name "libwcs". However, there is a competing library available called "libwcs", which is part of the WCSTOOLS package <http://tdc-www.harvard.edu/software/wcstools/>. I would however call the library package "libwcs<soname>" as this is what lintian recommends, and both upstream packages would install a libwcs.so, so they would conflict on the same system anyway. And wcstools may use the wcslib (as packaged here), so there is still a possibility to package WCSTOOLS in a way that does not conflict with wcslib. To summarize, I would use the following naming scheme: - wcslib as source package - libwcs<soname> as library package - libwcs<soname>-dev as header/static library package - wcslib-tools for the binary tools provided by the package See also <http://mail.scipy.org/pipermail/astropy/2011-March/001179.html> for a discussion of the relation between the two packages. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
