Hi Faidon, Quick update: 0.17.1 was released (2026-07-06) and carries the symbol versioning natively, so the a/b question from my last mail is moot -- no debian/patch is needed. I've prepared 0.17.1-1 and opened a Salsa MR:
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/wasmedge/-/merge_requests/2 Summary of the update: - Plain 0.17.1-1 (no +dfsg; upstream dropped the only excluded file, so the pristine tarball is DFSG-compliant). - debian/libwasmedge0.symbols regenerated for the symbol-versioned ABI: every export now under @WASMEDGE_0.16, and the five limit functions also export @WASMEDGE_0.17 with an @WASMEDGE_0.16 compat alias. SONAME stays libwasmedge.so.0, so a 0.16 consumer like crun keeps working without a rebuild. - No debian/patches needed. - Built clean in a sid container (arm64): dpkg-buildpackage OK, empty dpkg-gensymbols diff, lintian no E/W. The symbols were regenerated on arm64, so amd64 remains the authoritative run -- yours, as you offered. Ready for your review whenever it suits. Thanks, Vincent WasmEdge upstream / Second State
