The package itself had two major life cycles. As such, the source
library is called "argtable2". As far as so version goes, it has
version 4. Obviously, I will need to ad a "lib" at the beginning.
At the moment, I have this:
source package: argtable2
shared object: libargtable2-4
devel: libargtable2-4-dev
(Donated by Steve Langasek)
$ objdump -p /path/to/libfoo-bar.so.1.2.3 | sed -n -e's/^[[:space:]]
*SONAME[[:space:]]*//p' | sed -e's/\([0-9]\)\.so\./\1-/; s/\.so\.//'
For the devel package I would take the binary package name without
the SONAME like libargtable2-dev.
I'm having doubts about all choices, however:
Should the source be named "argtable"? It seems that upstream is
not particularly interested in maintaining the "1" series around,
but one never knows. They are clearly and utterly incompatible,
however, and there is some slim chance that someone will want to
package "libargtable1".
How is the tarball named? argtable-2.x oder argtable2-1.x?
Kind regards,
