    <p>I am currently working on a project with a central library (librapidstorm), multiple plugins (one of them named rapidstorm-fitter) and a binary than dynamic-links all plugins together (rapidstorm-bin). Each of these components is packaged in its own Debian package with the major version number of the library in the name of the package, e.g.</p> <ul> <li>librapidstorm12</li> <li>rapidstorm12-plugin-fitter</li> <li>rapidstorm12-bin</li> </ul> <p>In principle, I think this naming scheme is useful because multiple versions of librapidstorm can be installed in parallel and additional, site-specific plugins are handled gracefully when they depend on librapidstorm12.</p> <p>Now, due to a few misdesigns in librapidstorm12 (which are too expensive to fix) the ABI of librapidstorm12 is broken more often than Guido Westerwelle's promises, while the API stays consistent. Which means, due to the logic of libtool versions, that the version number increases, which entails a change in all the subsequent package names. While this change is easy to handle on the pure source level, the Debian packages must be renamed manually/by sed.</p> <p>I thought I could handle this renaming via substitutions, but substitutions may not occur in package names.</p> <p>I tried to look up how other packages with the same problem (e.g. kernel) do it, but the version number is hard-coded in their control files, too.</p> <p>Does anyone know a clean, Debian way of changing the package name according to the version number?</p>

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
