You might want to consider only offering a dev version of guichan, and require that packages using guichan link statically. This is recommended by the debian policy manual in certain cases, such as for "libraries whose interfaces are in flux or under development." http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-sharedlibs.html#s-sharedlibs-static
Guichan upstream recommends that every project that uses guichan includes the source files manually in their project. I think the end effect is the same thing as linking statically. Although with this solution, there would be no libguichan* or libguichan-dev package. http://guichan.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Getting_started -Brandon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
