Hello, you may have spotted my recent submission to subversion with a suggestion on how to avoid our problem with the API change of jgrapht. There, I am introducing a virtual package of the same name libjgrapht of version 0.7.3 that is in conflict with libjgrapht-java in a version < 0.7. This way, you cannot just update it and ruin your dependent packages.
The new libjgrapht depends on the package libjgrapht0.7-java, which delivers the .jar file. The new libjgrapht prepares a symbolic link to the new jar. And so does the libjgrapht0.7-java, in complete analogy to the sonames of C shared libraries (or at least in complete analogy to what I have understood about them). I hope this solution to find your approval and wait for some OK from your sides to upload it. Time is presssing a bit in order to get it into the next stable release, as you all know. This holds particularly since I want to get biojava in, that depends on this newer version. Best, Steffen _______________________________________________ pkg-java-maintainers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-java-maintainers
