Nomeclator of plugins



Hi,

I think I have not seen it in the Debian policies. I have a dual role in one 
application: developer and co-maintainer. I would like to ask one question 
that fits in both.

I'm in the bulmages project. It's a big piece of software with several 
applications with libs and plugins. It's a cmake build project. The plugins 
we have are libXXXX.so. I add the properties (soname and version) to the 
plugins as the project main properties. The packages consist in several 
packages, etc.

Now, we have a guy that it's packaging in Suse. First of all, he had to make 
some patch because the suse robot builders was more strict and didn't let him 
to build the package if some warning were done. We never receive any messages 
from that king [2].

The second, and it's my main question is about the nomenclature of the 
plugins. The guy says that the Suse force to create a package -dev if you 
have this kind of things (.so and symbolic links -.so.x.y.z).  But I did a 
package for some .so (-dev) of the software, but not for all. Do we have a 
similar rule?

Regards,

Leo
