Here are some of the comments Reinhard said on IRC. Placing them here for recording purposes.
[02:47] <siretart> amejia: in the merged case, I think the -dev packages can have tight dependencies on the library packages [02:48] <siretart> amejia: also, I think only libavcodec changes, so in that case we'd no longer need to provide e.g. libavutil-extra-51 [03:00] <siretart> amejia: ultimatively, I think this change goes into the right direction. unfortunately, it wont save a lot of effort, because for ubuntu we'll still need libav-extra and this change needs to be reverted there. at least for now :-( With only libavcodec having an extra package, the other extra packages would need transitional packages. Also, I'm afraid the epoch would need to be bumped again. $ dpkg --compare-versions 4:0.8.1-1 le 4:0.8.1.1 && echo true true I would like to upload a package to experimental soon. Anyone have any other suggestions at this time? -- ~ Andres -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
