Help regarding package with shared objects



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

If you are able to help me with some problems I am having packaging an
application with some shared objects (.so libraries), I would be very
grateful. I know very little about SOs, and even after a bit of research
on the web I'm still not sure of the best way to proceed.

I'm packaging AFNIX which delivers some executables and a set of shared
objects that the executables use.

   1) The upstream makefile compiles the SOs into /usr/local/lib, which
I will obviously need to change for Debian. As the SOs are only used by
the AFNIX executables, would it be best to put the SOs in their own
directory, e.g. /usr/lib/afnix ? If so is that just a case of passing
- -rpath parameters to the linking stage?

   2) As the SOs are only used by the AFNIX executables, is it OK to
create just one binary package? I don't see much advantage in separating
out a "-dev" package - do you agree?

Thanks,
Paul
