Hi. There's another question related to .deb packaging which emerged recently: how do we update libraries properly?
Let's take concrete example - libosmo-netif, current version is 0.0.7; libversion is 3:0:0 I'd like to release new version: 0.0.8, libversion is 4:0:1 What do I do with debian/? The library package named libosmonetif3.install According to https://wiki.debian.org/TransitionBestPractices it should be renamed to libosmonetif4.install because we're changing "current" component of libversion. We should also change debian/control to reflect this rename, but what about "Conflicts:" in there? I've tried reading https://debian-handbook.info/browse/stable/sect.package-meta-information.html but still not sure how it should be applied in case of shared libraries. Shall we put libosmonetif3 in Conflicts? Both libosmonetif3 and libosmonetif2? Shall we use /Replaces instead? If so, for which version(s)? Also, am I even reading this in the right place or there're some better docs recommended for Debian library packaging? / -- Max Suraev <[email protected]> http://www.sysmocom.de/ ======================================================================= * sysmocom - systems for mobile communications GmbH * Alt-Moabit 93 * 10559 Berlin, Germany * Sitz / Registered office: Berlin, HRB 134158 B * Geschaeftsfuehrer / Managing Director: Harald Welte
