Hi,
I am introducing Color Management in Ubuntu and therefore I have
updated the Argyll package. There I have discovered, that there are
two source Debian packages, argyll and libicc which are based on the
same source tarball. I want to merge these two packages to make
maintenance easier.
Actually, they've been merged already. The argyll source package in
experimental generates the argyll, libicc-dev and libicc2 binary
packages.
Problem is that the version number used for libicc is the API/ABI
version number 2.12 which is much higher than the 1.3.3 of the
upstream tarball. Ho should I proceed to make the resulting package
being well accepted by Debian? Should I introduce an epoch?
There's a hack in the packaging that results in the version number for
the libicc2 package to actually be 2.12+argyll1.3.0-3, even though the
source package has version 1.3.0-3. I suggest you keep that hack at
least until upstream adopts good ABI/API practices, and then use an
epoch if needed.
Roland.
Thank you very much, I will the base my Ubuntu package on that. So you
can mark by bug report
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=636801) as fixed.
