[Pkg-Cyrus-imapd-Debian-devel] RFC: Renaming the packages

[Henrique de Moraes Holschuh]

We are approaching the upload to unstable, so it is time to question a few
choices of the past, to see if we should not change them.

The first issue is the naming of the packages.  Keep in mind that if we
change the naming convention, I will change the 2.1 packages accordingly,
and that the 1.5 packages are gone.

The rationale for a possible renaming of the packages is that "cyrus##-*" is
really awkward, and does NOT reflect the upstream name of the application at
all.

I propose we change the naming convention as follows:

Source:
  cyrus-imapd-2.#

Binaries:
  cyrus-imapd-2.#
  cyrus-murder-2.#
  cyrus-pop3d-2.#
  cyrus-base-2.#  (rename of cyrus-common)
  ...

Tasks/ABI:
  cyrus-imapd-2.#  (ABI package provided by cyrus-base-2.#)


What do you guys think about the whole idea? and what about the cyrus-common
to cyrus-base rename?
