Right. Not an argument against, though. Instead, this is a very good idea. What symbols are new? Can we somehow stub them, or at least where those are used? Or change the soname, so that the old and new-older versions are coïnstallable for during the upgrade? bye, //mirabilos -- <igli> exceptions: a truly awful implementation of quite a nice idea. <igli> just about the worst way you could do something like that, afaic. <igli> it's like anti-design. <mirabilos> that too… may I quote you on that? <igli> sure, tho i doubt anyone will listen ;)
