My updated solution to this problem is to create 2 different shlib splitoffs, with different version numbers.. this appears to be what the openvrml project actually does for their .rpm packages.
Why the upstream package has two shared libraries with intimately-linked functionality with different version numbers is beyond me, oh well.
So now I'm waiting for the openvrml package to be moved into -unstable by someone with the authority to do that. I hope someone can find time, as we have other projects here which are depending on openvrml being available in fink before we can release. Hopefully the results of this will be more packages for fink...
On a related note, is it just me or are there issues at the moment with getting submitted packages into the unstable tree in a timely fashion? I understand the contraints on the time of the core fink team, I'm just wondering if the bar over which packages have to leap to be accepted into -unstable is a bit too high. Provided a package has been validated and builds ok for the maintainer, shouldn't the job of installing and testing be done by the fink community at large through the -unstable tree, rather than depending on the scarce resources of the core fink team?
Really, the best way is to put the packages on the tracker and head on over to #fink.
This is the secret: talk to us there, and things get done much faster (usually) :-)
