Hi RMs I'm going to link GeoTiff against the new libtiff5. Of course, the Geotiff library does not change its own interface and soname at all, but a few rdeps link both GeoTIFF AND the old TIFF, so a similar change is requested for those programs. In the meantime, I would expect some breakages in those packages which would try linking both the new and the old TIFF library.
The result I suspect would depend on the order of linking (but I'm not sure about that). A better plan would be introducing an ad-hoc SONAME in current GeoTIFF and manage a proper transition for all. This would be also a better solution for non packaged programs out there. Do you confirm? -- Francesco P. Lovergine -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
