Bug#728090: please upload a more current upstream

2013-10-28 Thread Daniel Baumann
Package: re2

Could you please upload a newer version of re2 to unstable? The current
version in experimental is over a year old already and I need it as a
build-depends for lmctfy.

Regards,
Daniel

Hi Daniel (2013.10.28_12:01:14_+0200)
 Could you please upload a newer version of re2 to unstable? The current
 version in experimental is over a year old already and I need it as a
 build-depends for lmctfy.

re2 has no stable ABI guarantees. So, we have two options for including
it in unstable.

1. static library only (with Built-Using).
2. Manage our own ABI. Changes are becoming very infrequent, and we
   could probably get away with changing the ABI  once a year.

Thoughts?

(not saying that is a good way, but jftr, there is also:)

3. have it like like ntfs-3g (Provides: libntfs-3g-$SONAME) and testdisk
(Depends: libntfs-3g-$SONAME).

 Thoughts?

if 2. is not too big a pain for you to keep track of (or, unless it
becomes one at some future point), i'd go with 2.

That wouldn't really be appropriate for a library package. Only a
library bundled with an application.

Yeah, it's probably what I'll do.
