Hi Andreas, The minimum version numbers I call out in shlibs.local, at least for xslt and xml2, are defined by upstream. If someone can show that xmlsec doesn't work in those version ranges, that's an upstream bug. I don't think the burden of proof in this case should rest on the packager. Calling out actual minimum versions can simplify backports. --John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
