Dear Benoit and others, this is a request and i think it is very resonable: can you just request uniformized package naming policy for the different distros? The point is, it is nearly impossible to write cross-distro applications in Gambas2, since each and every distro has its own packaging policy. For example, Ubuntu ships packages gambas2-gb-sdl and gambas2-gb-sdl-sound separately. In Suse it doesn't exist package gambas2-gb-sdl-sound. So if I compile a program in Ubuntu, there's 0% chances for it to install normally on Suse. Another example is the variety of gambas2-gb-db-sqlite packages. I simply cannot switch the driver on, because I'm writing my program (GamCat) simultaneously for all the major distros (Ubuntu, Fedora, Suse, Arch, Slackware...). Since you are the owner of the Gambas project, I ask you to do something to solve this disastrous situation. Gambas is so great, it would be a pity to let it go headless on! Please force a unified naming convention upon the packagers! Thank you!
