Hello, libgtop2 is currently broken in debian unstable, and No�l K�the is too busy to fix it right now. I maintain packages that depend on libgtop2 and also use others that depend on libgtop2. All these packages have become unusable since libgtop2 broke.
I am then trying to prepare a non-maintainer-upload of libgtop2, and have noticed the following problems : 1) The soname of libgtop2 did change in 2.0.2 from 2.0.1 (from libgtop-2.0.so.0 to libgtop-2.0.so.1). But no mention of this is made in the ChangeLog. So, the question is this soname change warranted, because the binary incompatibility did change, or spurious and should be reverted. 2) I noticed that the libgtop2 libraries are built, not against the libraries currentyl building, but against the installed ones, which is severly broken, as libgtop-2.0.so.1.0.1 is linked to the older libgtop_common-2.0.so.0 and libgtop_sysdeps-2.0.so.0, which naturally don't work once the package is installed. This second point, i have had a quick look but i was not able to quickly fix the build system so this doesn't happen, maybe you could provide me some insight or hint on how to fix this (or even a patch or new release ?). Hope you don't mind my comments and questions, and again, i am not the debian maintainer of this package, and Noel may well know these things already. Friendly, Sven Luther
