Re: redone CVS debs



Matthew Weier OPhinney said:
i.e., it's a nested module of Gtk2, and you use it with the notation
'use Gtk2::GladeXML;' Because of this, it makes sense (IMHO) to call the
deb package libgtk2-gladexml-perl (much like there are
libfilesys-diskfree-perl and libfilesys-diskspace-perl, etc.).

pardon me for asking, since i'm debian-ignorant and all, but...  why do the
debian packages mangle the names so much?  why not use Gtk2-perl,
Gtk2-GladeXML-perl, Glib-perl, etc?  'lib' isn't part of the name, as it is
with libgnomecanvas, for example...
