Re: Packaging question (synopsis and its libraries)

See my recent message to -mentors and -devel, "Nonpublic shared libraries." It sees that rpath could be used here because it is a "private" library, not used by other packages. In the future, if that changes, it will have to have a soname. For now, you could also just install to /usr/lib/libSyno

Renaming the source package will force you to go through the new queue again, afaik. You can just change the package name in the first stanza of ./debian/control (the source stanza). -- Clear skies, Justin On Tue, Oct 11, 2005 at 05:20:03PM -0300, Jose Carlos do Nascimento wrote: > Hi, all > >
