Please hold off on uploading this library until the current version of ffmpeg in unstable has reached testing. libquicktime is one of about 100 packages involved in the transition of ffmpeg as a result of new sonames in multiple library packages; several of the libquicktime reverse-dependencies are already involved in this transition, but some others are not yet, and any new version of libquicktime in unstable right now (with or without soname change) would further delay this very complex transition. I know Marc Brockschmidt is actively working on managing this transition, and I'm currently doing what I can to help with any necessary package rebuilds in unstable, so with luck the transition will be cleared within a week or so; but if it takes longer, your patience is even more important because every additional day it takes us to finish the transition increases the chances of the transition being badly disrupted by some upload by another maintainer who hasn't taken the time to communicate with the release team. Thanks, -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
