It would be interesting to know how Debian is handling it. 0.9.7 is in unstable and 0.9.10 is in experimental, I guess because of the ABI issue: http://packages.debian.org/oldstable/libs/libquicktime1 (0.9.3) http://packages.debian.org/unstable/libs/libquicktime0 (0.9.7) http://packages.debian.org/experimental/libs/libquicktime0 (0.9.10) > 1) Rename this package (I picked libquicktime00) > 2) Bring the prior version of quicktime0 out of CVS for > compatibility (as libquicktime0), with an Epoch of 1 to ensure that > people install it and thereby avoid breakage. > 3) Make libquicktime0-bin obsolete and Depend on libquicktime-bin > (see below) > 4) libquicktime00-shlibs installs its library in a private > directory to avoid collisions > 5) libquicktime00 Conflicts/Replaces libquicktime0 > In addition I refactored the contents of this package: 5) The .so > files don't seem to be required by the library, so I put them back > in the -bin splitoff > 6) Most of the Depends should indeed go with the -bin splitoff The .so files are the plugins for codec support. They are really part of shlibs. If a program wants to use libquicktime as a library, and wants to use codecs, it will need those files. For example with Pure Data (what I work on), it does not use the libquicktime-bin stuff at all, but definitely needs libquicktime-shlibs and those .so files. I am sure that other applications built against libquicktime would operate this way too. Also, libquicktime 1.0 has been released, so before putting too much effort into the 0.9.10 package, I think it would make the most sense to upgrade libquicktime0 to the most recent ABI-compatible version (0.9.7?), then make a libquicktime 1.0 package. .hc > 7) Call the -bin splitoff libquicktime-bin, so that people who use > the executables get upgrades in the future regardless of how > upstream decides to break stuff. > Here are links to the .info files: > > http://akhmac.blogdns.net/~hansen/finklogs/libquicktime0.info > http://akhmac.blogdns.net/~hansen/finklogs/libquicktime00.info > > -- > Alexander K.
