Dear Deb-Med, After many years, we are finally ready to release the V3.00 of the Bio++ libraries (libbpp-core, libbpp-seq, libbpp-phyl, libbpp-popgen, libbpp-seq-omics, libbpp-phyl-omics, libbpp-qt, libbpp-raa). This new version introduces a new interface, not backward-compatible (although some legacy classes have been kept to ease the transition). Therefore, we have renamed the libraries as libbpp-core3, libbpp-seq3, etc. It has been a long time since I dived into Debian packaging, but I expect that releasing this new version by tagging our master branch will trigger some issues for the Debian packaging, since this should be new Debian packages, not just updates of the existing ones, right? Before we create such a mess, are there any recommendations on how we should proceed? My gut feeling is that we should get rid of the old ones and make some brand new packages for this new version, unless there is a simpler way? (The compilation chain is the same as before, no change from that side apart from upgrading the various cmake files.)
Best regards, Julien.
