[maemo-developers] libsdl-ttf2.0(-0) ?

[From: Attila Csipa]

Can someone help me with this package ? It seems that we have a libsdl-
ttf2.0-0 in Extras (listing the pymaemo team as maintainers), but also a 
libsdl-ttf2.0 in the Nokia repositories (listing Karoliina Salminen of Nokia 
as the maintainer). As suggested starting with libqt4, no stable official Nokia 
maintained packages should go to Extras, and those that are devel versions, 
should explicitly sport an -experimental in their package names. The 
transitional package might sound as a good idea, but due to how H-A-M works, 
and given that libs are mostly promoted via apps, it fails miserably in 
practice (i.e. you get conflicts all over the place). The proper way to deal 
with this would be IMHO to add the standard "provides/replaces/conflicts" 
stanza to the new package and just delete the ones in Extras. If you know 
about other packages that have the same problem, please let me know (so we 
could deal with it before apps using these libs reach Extras, like in this 
case).

PS. ... and this is why I say we need to have better comms/procedures as to 
what stuff is moving where across Nokia/community repos :)

Best regards,
