Summary0003546: DRD Team's Debian Package Repository: Lintian warning package-name-doesnt-match-sonames libwadseeker1
Descriptionlibwadseeker package from debian.drdteam.org should be called libwadseeker1, not libwadseeker. This would fix a Lintian "package-name-doesnt-match-sonames libwadseeker1".

More importantly, users may experience a conflict with Debian and my packaging efforts of 0003246 if both libwadseeker and libwadseeker1 would end up installed with library code under two different package names.
Steps To Reproduce
$ dpkg -l libwadseeker*

Additional InformationThis is just a heads up to you, Blzut3. I will be packaging Wadseeker as "libwadseeker1", matching the SONAME.

My proposal: Make libwadseeker a transitional package to libwadseeker1 on debian.drdteam.org.

This takes a trivial modification to the Debian build files in the existing libwadseeker package at debian.drdteam.org to move it. Then you'd create another transitional package, which just depends on libwadseeker1?

Fyi: libwadseeker 1.1 is unaffected, because it has no SONAME at all. But we still face this issue in the future, irregardless.

Here's also some guidance on how to make a transitional package:

This is already taken care of behind the scenes.

You can run `make package` and then `../releasescripts/cpackpostprocess.sh` to get the 1.2 release format. (Requires CMake 3.11 or newer for best results.)

...more if-else-fi soup, yuck. I don't understand the CPack stuff anyway, and I certainly don't understand the script despite reading the description and simplistic bash language code.

Anyway, mind explaining to me if the transitional packaging issue has been resolved?

I was going to manually create a transition package as you suggested. This is also a transition from me hand jamming files into a deb to using CPack, so this will just happen behind the scenes for the DRD Team repo.

Resolving as "fixed" for 1.1 in 1.2, but only because of CPack stuff changes (and well, SONAME). There's no good resolution to use here.
