Hi Dexter,
I saw that you also ITP a OSSP (www.ossp.org) project for Debian:
OSSP uuid. I intent to do the same for OSSP sa. I'm using the sa
library successful for a small application so my intention is
make it public for others who intent to do the same too.
I've done already a Debian package and intent to sync the future
OSSP work with you. The problem I see with OSSP are the too simple
names e.g. libsa or libuuid. The header files are also installed
by default in /usr/include. This will lead in problems for uuid
more then for sa because Debian provide already more then one
file with the name uuid.h:
http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=uuid.h&searchmode=searchfiles&case=insensitive&version=unstable&arch=i386
We run in naming conflicts with other packages sooner or later.
It would be nice if we can have the same name semantic for this
two OSSP packages. I would propose:
Header files go to /usr/include/ossp/*, e.g. /usr/include/ossp/{sa,uuid}.h
Library start with libossp*, e.g. libossp{sa,uuid}*.
The problem is that Debian will become binary incompatible with
foreign programs base on OSSP libraries :( I hope we find a solution
that match the requirements of the OSSP project and Debian.
