Why? The user won't see the source package name change. It's only
extra hassle for you and the ftp-masters. If you really want, rename
the binary package only.
NB, how does upstream call the package/program/tarball?
Upstream names it "biofox" only.
Yes, I know. I've made a mistake using the same name on the binary and
on the source package :-(
That happened because biofox, as the name says, was only to Firefox.
Upstream author changed this now and made it available also to Mozilla.
I want to correct my mistake now to avoid bigger problems later.
What I am thinking is:
Source package: biofox
Binary package: biofox (that can be used both on Firefox and on Mozilla
Suite)
Binary package: mozilla-firefox-biofox (transitional dummy package
depending on "biofox", so users will upgrade to the new biofox).
Doubt:
Does biofox (the binary package) must use Conflicts, Provides and/or
Replaces?
Thank you very much
Regards,
Nelson
