I posted something in the gnustep-discuss mailing list to try to find a =
solution about naming.
Can you wait a few days before renaming ?


Anyway, if I remenber well what Adam wrote, a new release of core libs i=
s planned this weekend.
So I think it's best to wait and build all your packages against this ne=
w version.

Another possibility is to ask direcly to the upstram author.

P.S.

Not a suggestion, just an idea to be discussed:
Prefix (or suffix) package with name of the project (when possible).

backbone-textedit
backbone-terminal
backbone-preferences
(backbone-helpviewer)

stepmaker-connect

imageapps-imagekits
imageapps-preview
imageapps-viewpdf
imageapps-camera
