Why so that breakages in the FLAC API can break libsndfile again?
well, sometimes api changes are necessary.. wether this one was or not - i
cant judge - ask the authors of libflac.
Ive been in the same situation with streamripper.
Thats streamripper this is libsndfile.
You are the maintainer of streamripper but not as far as I am
aware the maintainer of libsndfile. I think that is Anand
Kumria and I do not believe that Anand has any problems with the
way I have been releasing libsndfile so far and I know him well
enough that he would say something if I screwed up.
well, its just that statically linked binaries in debian should be omitted by
policy (or, might be non policy compliant). Imagine a security bug in libflac,
debian's security team would have to care about the libflac packages AND
sndfile - duplicate work again.
I am now the maintainer of libsndfile (I adopted it from Anand some time
ago) and I strongly second Michael's arguments. I have nothing against
having the FLAC sources included in libsndfile but please provide an
easy way to link against external FLAC sources. I will manage FLAC API
transitions.
Cheers,
Samuel.
