> Soname bumps are upstream business... Yeah. That makes sense. But sometimes upstream doesn't do it.
I'm asking mostly for bug reporting. I don't maintain any libraries. When I file a bug report against a library for breaking ABI compatability without bumping the soname, do I report it as serious? Or just important? What would the justification be for reporting as serious if there is no policy regarding it? > Debian Policy does not have to mandate every aspect of every upstream > decision - there are some things (like SONAME's) that simply need to > be done properly before the code even gets into Debian (or any other > distribution). I agree with that, at least somewhat. The problem is that some excellent packages would not be able to make it into debian at all, because they depend on a volatile library. -Brandon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
