This shouldn't happen, since freetype uses x.y.z as major.minor.patch. So a release incrementing z should only fix bugs, not alter the API. > FWIW dh_makeshlibs supports being called with a -V option. Excerpt of > its manpage: > [snip] > That might be a safer approach? Yes, but it is conservative, perhaps. 'dh_makeshlibs -V' then depends on 2.8.1. Given what we know about freetype's versioning, this doesn't seem necessary IMO. On another note, I was wondering if using 'cut' is simpler than 'sed'? $(shell echo "$(ver)" | cut -f-2 -d'.') Thanks, Hugh
