What do you mean by "before uploading into unstable"? If that is not meant as a final package, then why not install the old and the new libs in two different chroots? > I ask because I am wondering whether to make it possible to do such a > parallel-install of Cernlib libraries, but of course if you are not > going to permit a parallel install, I don't really have the choice.

So I would like to know > now, before expending much energy on parallel installability. Non-conflicting packages would mean to upload with libraries with a changed soname. I don't think that binaries are that portable, but does it really make sense to keep both sets of libraries, and for each package build for g77 *and* for gfortran? Matthias PS: Seems that we are still stalled, so currently I'd prefer anything that brings us a bit forward... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
