Package: libdvdread-dev
Version: 4.1.3-5
Severity: important
Hi !
I am trying to compile a package against dvdread. However, the configure script
of this package requires the symbol DVDREAD_VERSION to be greater than 905
(i.e. upstream version 0.9.5).
In your package, which is versioned 4.1.3, this symbol, however, is declared as:
#define DVDREAD_VERSION 904
(file dvdread/dvd_reader.h)
If I go to the upstream's website and download version 0.9.7 there, then the
symbol
is 907.
If I understand what I gathered on the internet, the version you package is in
fact
a mplayer-specific fork of the original library and its version has been
renamed while
the shipped symbol version remained the same.
However, I cannot find any information about this in your package, like a
README.Debian-source
file.
Furthermore, it would be nice to clarify the status of this fork. If it is
really
a fork, then it should be packaged under a seperate name in order to avoid
confusion
and also to allow the packaging of software that depends on the original
library.
Thanks,
Romain
