No real reason, I simply haven't gone through the policy changes and
verified that it's ok to bump standards-version. I'll do that soonish
unless someone beats me to it.

Also I did successfully build test all of the rdeps, but this is still a
transition and as such needs an ok by the release team before uploading
to unstable.

There are not rdepends that could cause problems, so it is ok for me pushing
that change. Any reason to have policy stuck to 3.9.3?

They never had a shared library, it's a Debian modification. I have a
version of this package done that keeps the shared lib (and bumps the
soname) waiting for comments from the rest of the team before I push it
out.

A copy of the source package is available at

2013-11-02 Thread Kurt Roeckx
Hi,

I wanted a newer version, so I've prepared a package for myself
and put it up at:
http://people.debian.org/~kroeckx/shapelib/

I really dislike that they dropped the support for a shared
library.


Kurt
