[Bug 1541457] Re: [Ubuntu 16.04] New package libcxl user space library for CAPI

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre]

-> make VERS_SONAME=$(VERS_SONAME) VERS_LIB=$(VERS_LIB)
That should be fixed upstream; "make && make install" should Just Work, as otherwise distros might be tempted to declare any SOVER they want, and it might not be right.

<infinity> cyphermox: So, other than all the above rant, the one thing I might insist on changing would be that they set the VER/SOVER to 0.3/0 until upstream actually bakes a proper SONAME in and agrees to track ABI properly.
<infinity> cyphermox: Cause SOVER 1 implies tracking and consistency across distros, and if we have to set it externally, I don't see how we can promise that.

-> debian/outfile
Probably should be removed. It seems to be a copy of debian/source/format.

-> debian/copyright
If debian/ must be GPL-2+, then debian/patches/* should probably be Apache-2.0; so as to maintain a consistent licensing between the patches and source code. Otherwise, feel free to just have everything licensed Apache-2.0.

-> debian/rules
As above, making sure "make && make install" upstream works correctly should allow simplifying the debian/rules file a lot.
