Packaging
---------
### Packaging recommendations for distribution package maintainers
* libopenmpt (since 0.3) uses SemVer 2.0.0 versioning. See
[semver.org](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html). Clause 4 is ignored for
libopenmpt, which means that libopenmpt will also provide API/ABI
compatibility semantics for pre-1.0.0 versions as required by SemVer 2.0.0
only for post-1.0.0 versions. The SemVer versioning scheme is incompatible
with Debian/Ubuntu package versions, however it can easily be processed to
be compatible by replacing '-' (hyphen) with '~' (tilde). It is recommended
that you use this exact transformation if required.
* Use the autotools source package.
* Use the default set of dependencies required by the autotools package.
* Read \ref libopenmpt_c_staticlinking and thus possibly pass
`CXXSTDLIB_PCLIBSPRIVATE` variable to `configure` if appropriate and/or
desired.
* Run the test suite in your build process.
* Send any build system improvement patches upstream.
* Do not include the libmodplug emulation layer in the default libopenmpt
binary package. Either do not package it at all, or provide a separate
package named libopenmpt-modplug or libmodplug-openmpt (or similar), which
depends on libopenmpt, provides libmodplug, and conflicts with original
libmodplug.
* Split openmpt123 into its own binary package because it has more
dependencies than libopenmpt itself.
* Consider providing an additional openmpt123 package (in addition to the
default openmpt123 package with all audio output drivers), built with fewer
audio output drivers so it does not transitively depend on X11. Name that
package and its executable openmpt123-nox (or whatever else may be common
practice in your distribution).
