I'm currently working on building local packages from here:
https://github.com/ve7fet/linuxax25

He has renamed two of the packages to remove the "-", obviously libax25
didn't have one to begin with. Since I don't want to go through renaming
the packages in Fedora (requires re-review) I'm doing git exports and
putting the hyphen back in.

It's worth the time to go read through the ChangeLog, he does a good job of
documenting the changes.

I agree that would be best.
