As noted in
https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=30251660
the established convention for PKG_DIR in Makefile.in
PKG_DIR= $(PACKAGE_NAME)$(PACKAGE_VERSION)
cannot work well for packages that make the unfortunate choice
to end their package name with a number.
An alternative convention
PKG_DIR= $(PACKAGE_NAME)-$(PACKAGE_VERSION)
would take care of them, and also align better with
other packaging standards out there, AIUI.
I'm all for this.
Perhaps I spoke a bit too quickly.
My personal preference would be for the topmost *source* dir of the package to be named '
'name-ver' and the install dir to simply be 'name' but that might not be practical so I'm fine with an install dir of 'name-ver'.
