Valid point on it not always being handled by upstream, but it's always been done this way with packages I've bumped. But in the end, if upstream doesn't indicate the breakage by changing the major version, then there isn't any easy method to detect it in the first place.
Since writing this, I have managed to extend our mysql database to include a detailed dump of each package's ELF object's shared library list. This will make it trivial to search for library linkage. So, this should help once it is operational. _______________________________________________ Frugalware-devel mailing list [email protected] http://frugalware.org/mailman/listinfo/frugalware-devel
