I have decided that it is the mainstream practice in cygwin packages
to include information such as licenses in the runtime package, and I
have followed this practice.
However, I also believe that there is a possibility that these files
may conflict if the so version is incremented.
Example:
- https://cygwin.com/packages/x86_64/libchromaprint0/libchromaprint0-1.2-1
- https://cygwin.com/packages/x86_64/libchromaprint1/libchromaprint1-1.4.3-1
In your example, libchromaprint0 is no longer needed by anything:
$ cygcheck-dep -cqSn libchromaprint{0,1}
libchromaprint0: is needed for ( )
libchromaprint1: is needed for ( gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad-free-extras
kid3-core libchromaprint-devel )
Multiple library ABI release documents do "conflict", but newer should replace
older, and licences are rarely changed because of multiple contributor
copyrights, need to track down all previous contributors, and difficulty of that
and getting unanimous agreement on any licence change.
As in this case, it is normally easier to fork and rename the project, if a new
licence or any other project direction is preferred.
To ease handling ABI changes, you can define the ABI and *declare* the
subpackage variables using that variable, preferably grouping all variables for
each subpackage, and if contents of a directory have to be split across
subpackages, the first entry/-ies for subpackages <SUB>_CONTENTS may be
--exclude=<PATH>/<GLOB> as required; for example:
$ tail ... /usr/src/.../...cygport
...
ABI=0
PKG_NAMES="lib$NAME-$ABI lib$NAME-devel $NAME"
declare lib${NAME}_${ABI}_LICENSE=LGPL-3.0-or-later
declare lib${NAME}_${ABI}_CATEGORY="$CATEGORY Libs"
declare lib${NAME}_${ABI}_SUMMARY="$SUMMARY (runtime)"
declare lib${NAME}_${ABI}_CONTENTS="
--exclude=usr/share/doc/$NAME/xmlrpc/
usr/bin/cyg$NAME-$ABI.dll
usr/share/doc/
"
declare lib${NAME}_devel_CATEGORY="$CATEGORY Devel Libs"
declare lib${NAME}_devel_SUMMARY="$SUMMARY (development)"
declare lib${NAME}_devel_CONTENTS="
usr/bin/lib$NAME-$ABI.dll
usr/include/
usr/lib/pkgconfig/
usr/share/man/man3/

declare ${NAME}_LICENSE=GPL-3.0-or-later
