[RFC] foobar-devel or libfoobar?!


Hi list,

I'm packaging mysql-4.0.17 (without server) for dependency to various
packages that I'll support, ie. mod_auth_mysql for the mysql based
HTTP basic authentication for Apache and the new PHP module.

Now I get into a question: 
According how maintainers do, it seems that libraries, header files
and base client programs are packages as "foobar-devel" with the same
version-revision tagging. Unfortunatly this is mileading to the things
reflected in the http://cygwin.com/setup.html page, where such a
package is about to be named "libfoobar".

So can we have a discurs on how a unique naming scheme can be
entitled?! Should the mysql client programs, libraries and headers be
named "mysql-devel" or "libmysql"?

BTW, this one was build with a modified generic-build-script (yes, I
took the note cerious that it is not a generic one ;). But I don't see
actually how I can make the libraries build dynamically too. Currently
I do build them pure statically and afterwards use a "mkdll.sh" script
(should be known on the list) to produce the shared DLLs and the
import libraries. Is there a more convinient way to do this using the
generic-build-script directlty?

Stipe
