Yes please. Treat this as an objection for the removal of the versioned names.
Should Java programs or libraries that use a versioned JAR from another Java library have a versioned package dependency on this libraray? E.g. if I use the current /usr/share/java/xalan-2.5.0.jar in my package how should my dependency look?
1. no dependency on libxalan2-java (it's not required by the Java policy) 2. libxalan2-java 3. libxalan2-java (= 2.5.0-1) 4. libxalan2-java (>= 2.5.0) 5. libxalan2-java (>= 2.5.0), libxalan2-java (<< 2.5.1) 6. libxalan2-java (>= 2.5.0), libxalan2-java (<< 2.5.0.1) 7. something else Stefan
