Hi, I have just uploaded a new upstream version of libthai (0.1.10-1) to experimental. This new version now depends on libdatrie1 instead of libdatrie0 as the implementation layer. But libthai itself still uses the old APIs.
As a result, the soname for libthai is still the same, but that of libdatrie is bumped up from 0 to 1. As the shlib dependency is transitive, the pango-thai-lang.so module is currently linked against libdatrie0. So, upgrading libthai would cause both libdatrie versions to be loaded simultaneously, one from pango-thai-lang.so itself, and the other from the new libthai. Unfortunately, due to ABI incompatibility, some libdatrie functions would not work correctly in that case. So, pango would need to be rebuilt against the new libthai-dev to fix the problem. My question is, what should be the proper time for me to upload the new libthai into unstable, to minimize down time for the pango module? If I do that too soon, the pango module in unstable would not work properly, or might even crash. P.S. This may also apply to other libthai rdepends, like m17n-lib, mlterm, and iceowl, as well. But I think pango is the most critical one. Thanks, -- Theppitak Karoonboonyanan http://linux.thai.net/~thep/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
