As has already been pointed out, with tiff, the two versions were almost entirely API compatible. Also, tiff didn't have versioned symbols before the change, but upstream added versioned symbols to support the change. Even adding version symbols by slapping a version on every symbol is better than not having versioned symbols, and that turns out to be a really easy change. You can probably convince upstream to do it since none of the major Linux distributions are likely to be willing to take this without them. At least that was the experience I had with tiff. -- Jay Berkenbilt <q...@debian.org> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
