That happened before we took over the package, but afaiui gnutls
simply is supposed to have a reached a state where the API should not
break.

I cannot see unsurmountable problems actually. If gnutls15 breaks the
api in an incompatible way, we can still switch:
Package: libgnutls15-dev
Conflicts: libgnutls-dev

and the old libgnutls-dev would simply need to have a Conflict with
libgnutls15-dev added.

I see.  So why has gnutls removed the sonumber from the -dev package?
It may make your transitions appear easier in that you don't have to
rely on dependent packages to change their BD, but will create other
problems.  If there is a major API change in the future that takes
upstream packages a few years to migrate to, Debian will be stuck
because we can't support build depends for two versions in the same archive.

Yes, and no. The DLP describes the B-D of a package depending on
something like this
Package: libfoo42-dev
Provides: libfoo-dev

However for gnutls libgnutls-dev is no virtual package but a real one,
there is no libgnutls13-dev. So it would not be xmlsec1 not implementing
DLP but gnutls.

Thank you.

This violates best practice given by the Debian Library Packaging Guide:




In any case, I will fix this bug once proper runtime testing has been
done against the new gnutls version.

tags 335771 patch
thanks

Hi,

I rebuilt xmlsec1 with the attatched (trivial) patch and it seemed to
build fine. I didn't test the resulting package however.
