Re: Help with watch file -- versions based on different libraries
Hello, On Wed, 13 Feb 2008, I wrote: I've been trying to write a watch file for flpsed. First of all sorry for hijacking the thread. Secondly, it is amazing how writing down one's problem makes it clear how to solve it! As far as I can see the author's logic for this somewhat bizarre numbering is the hope that by the time 0.5.x needs enough revisions to cross 0.6, everyone will be using fltk2.x anyway. Given this logic, I suppose the natural choice for the watch file would be to use 0.5.* as the pattern that needs to be matched! Thanks anyway.

Help with watch file -- versions based on different libraries
Hello, I've been trying to write a watch file for flpsed. The upstream home page is at http://www.ecademix.com/JohannesHofmann/flpsed.html This lists two versions of flpsed based on which version of the library fltk is being used. Since Debian only has fltk1.1.x at the moment, I can package only flpsed 0.5.0. However, any watch file I can cook up prefers 0.6.0 to this version. As far as I can see the author's logic for this somewhat bizarre numbering is the hope that by the time 0.5.x needs enough revisions to cross 0.6, everyone will be using fltk2.x anyway. Any solutions? Regards, Kapil. -- signature.asc Description: Digital signature
