Based on experience from herding the Debian archive along, some packages have needed no changes (though perhaps upstream already dealt with the issues in at least some of those cases), and it's usually pretty minor stuff where there are changes required. None have needed restructuring. The wxWidgets team provide a guide for updating code: http://ftp.wxwidgets.org/pub/2.8.12/changes-2.8.12.txt Cheers, Olly -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
