Which upstream? vlc I suppose? Do you have a link to the discussion handy? > So please fix the include paths and the name of the pkg-config module > to point back to upnp. That is something that I think should be possible but I wonder what happens to the projects that already adopted the -1.8 naming. (Probably this could be fixed by providing both, libupnp-1.8 and libupnp.) > All other parts of the patch can be done with a simple SONAME bump and a > normal > library transition and adding calls to UpnpDiscovery_get_*_cstr depending on > the > upnp version. It should even be possible to add these wrapper functions to 1.6 to ease being compatible to both 1.6 and 1.8. Now given that it doesn't seem sensible for Debian to divert from upstream here, the big question is: Marcelo and Fabrice, what do you think? Best regards Uwe
