Is there an ETA for a release using libvigraimpex3? If it's likely to be soon then it may be worth waiting and pursuing this route; if it will be a while or there is no ETA then this doesn't seem like the best idea as we risk ending up with a libvigraimpex3 ABI which doesn't match the upstream library of that name. > 3.

This seems the next most preferable option after 2), imho. Regards, Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
