Bug#736123: ITP: sbbi-upnplib -- Java library for universal plug and play (upnp)
Hi all,
The binary package is named libupnp-java, seen here:
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-java/sbbi-upnplib.git;a=blob;f=debian/control;h=8014fb5b4d2c3eb60968caaa6c239562002dd9f7;hb=HEAD
I named the source package to match the name of the upstream tarball
file (sbbi-upnplib-1.0.4.tar.gz) I struggled with either naming the
source package the same as the binary package, or to name it like I
suggest here. Since upstream refers to the project as sbbi-upnplib and
their tarball had that in it, I'm leaning toward keeping the name what
they call it. It will be discoverable since the binary package has the
proper java library package name. I was worried about it not being
discoverable if I didn't put the sbbi-upnplib source package name.
Given that, do you still think it should be renamed? I don't mind either way.
