Hmm. Where'd you get this numbering scheme from? A brief check of the libs on my system suggests that libthing.so.major.minor is normal for the actual shared library, ldconfig will create libthing.so.major, and the -dev package has a link from libthing.so to libthing.so.major. (Note that Debian policy requires the libthing.so.major link to be provided in the package as the library may be needed before ldconfig has been run) Also, that's not the soname. The soname is libthing.so.major. Have you seen dancer's shared library packaging guide? I don't think he dictates a name for the actual library, but the links libthing.so and libthing.so.major are important to the Linux shared library loader. I think it's best to reserve digits before the .so for API bumps where the old API version is still under development/maintenance/usage, ie. it would need a distinct -dev package. The only other numbering scheme I've seen, which is what upstream uses before my dpatch, is libthing-major.minor.so. This would also be fine, since ldconfig again can produce libthing.so.major, since ldconfig doesn't use the _name_ of the file to determine that name, but the -soname parameter to the linker. (See the upstream Makefile) Out of curiosity, why are all your patches numbered 00? A quick look at the .diff.gz file shows the following files have been left lying around outside the debian/ directory: openjpeg_svn_475.patch patches/series .pc/.version (That last one might need to be added to a clean rule... I'm guessing pkg-config has left it lying around) It also looks like I left the 'debian/tm' file lying around, better remove that in your next build. Feel free to take over maintainership of this package if you wish, or if you want to hook up a mailing list for maintainership and make yourself an Uploader, I'm good with that too. - -- - ----------------------------------------------------------- Paul "TBBle" Hampson, B.Sc, LPI, MCSE Very-later-year Asian Studies student, ANU The Boss, Bubblesworth Pty Ltd (ABN: 51 095 284 361) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Of course Pacman didn't influence us as kids.
