I've just built a local libbluray in a clean chroot with the dependency on libbluray-bdj removed from the -dev package, installed that version in another clean chroot and successfully built xine-lib-1.2 without any apparent shlib changes in the libxine2-misc-plugins package. > That's my proposal: > > diff --git a/debian/control b/debian/control > index 87acaf6..e57ffdd 100644 > --- a/debian/control > +++ b/debian/control > @@ -23,11 +23,26 @@ Homepage: > http://www.videolan.org/developers/libbluray.html > Vcs-Git: git://git.debian.org/git/pkg-multimedia/libbluray.git > Vcs-Browser: http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-multimedia/libbluray.git;a=summary > > +Package: bluray-dev > +Architecture: all > +Section: libdevel > +Depends: libbluray-dev (>= ${source:Version}), > + libbluray-dev (<< ${source:Version}+1~), > + libbluray-bdj (>= ${source:Version}), > + libbluray-bdj (<< ${source:Version}+1~), > +Description: Blu-ray disc playback support (development files) > + libbluray is an open-source library designed for Blu-Ray Discs playback for > + media players, like VLC or MPlayer.

It might be better to explain this a bit more. Is libbluray-bdj a media format library *and* a java player or just the player/menus support? What kind of packages would need to *build-depend* on the new -dev package? Also add something which explicitly says that using the new -dev package is for those packages which expect to use/need Java. Those kinds of questions probably need to be answered in the package descriptions of the new -dev and of libbluray-bdj itself. bdj is a hint, but IMHO it should be clearer how the bdj library should be used and that using it involves adding Java to your development environment. In most cases, unless someone is extending the Java player classes, that shouldn't be necessary. > - This package provides the necessary files needed for development. > + This package provides the necessary files needed for compiling program > against > + libbluray. That's fine. It's just what xine-lib-1.2 needs. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
