RE: Shared library packaging question

["Wuttke, Joachim" <j.wuttke@fz-juelich.de>]

Thank you, Stanislav, for your helpful explanations.

Regarding the name of the package:
For many years the upstream project has been called "lmfit"
(since the main application is curve fitting), but the shared
library has been called "lmmin.so" (since the fundamental
mathematical operation is minimization). This legacy makes
it impossible to follow the "most common mechanism"
(as the policy manual says) of choosing a package name
that coincides with the library name. Hence the package name
lmfit3. Version 3 as in upstream.

Regarding the dev packages: Of course I will keep the
development files separated from the shared library package.
I just do not want thirdly a doc package; I still tend to pack
the examples into the dev package.

Kind regards, Joachim
