-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all,
I'm packaging a library (harminv, which implements a method to solve harmonic inversion problems) which supplies a program which makes use of the library... According to the section 8.2 of Debian Policy, i've to put the program into the -dev package, or in its own package. The problem is that, at some point, mainstream author decided that complete package version (library + program) is different than the libraries version (which, as he tells, is an 'internal-use' version). Library is actually 2.0.3, and the complete package is 1.3 (which is the program version too). This makes lintian complain about it if i package it as harminv1.3. My question is, what may i do?: 1) Make 3 packages: libharminv2.0.3, libharminv-dev, and harminv1.3, this last only holding the program and its man page. 2) Make 2 packages, including harminv program into the -dev package. 3) Ignore lintian error, and provide harminv1.3 (shared libraries), and harminv-dev (static libraries, header files and binary program). What do you think is better?
