That sounds like a good idea. An SONAME change would be beneficial for the Debian packages - we can then implement a transition plan making it impossible to install libfreetype6 and libfreetype7 at the same time. If you wish to avoid problems with indirect dependencies it is possible to use versioned symbols a la glibc in future. _______________________________________________ Freetype mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype
