I was thinking about renaming CSWcups-devel to CSWcups-dev to standardize the name, and removing the other two packages. Do you think a transitional dev package is necessary?

Given its purpose is as transitional package I have to say yes. Otherwise why does it exist?

I presume you want people with CSWcupsdoc to do and update and get the new CSWcups-devel without thinking. That's what I and the build farm attempted, sample size 2 and we had 100% failure; the previously working system failed after update. Is auto install via the transition package necessary? no. Is it helpful? yes.

In time you will quietly drop the old CSWcupsdoc and if you are being really tidy you will add an interference in the new to remove the old (depending on the package tools).


CSWcups-devel vs CSWcups-dev, it's just fashion, neither is wrong, dev is more economical and just as clear, I prefer dev.
