Dear Andreas, Update is (almost) ready upstream. Have a question though: when a program has not changed but needs to be rebuilt against the newest version of the library, can I just increase the package version number, or should I also increase the program version number?
Example: physamp is currently in version 1.1.0. No changes has been made but it needs to be recompiled to work with Bio++ 2.4.1. (Was 2.4.0 before). Should the new physamp package be called 1.1.0-2 or 1.1.1-1 ? Best, Julien. PS: autopkgtests are on the TODO list...
