Bug#300251: Would you please explain me the sense of this bug?
Hi Francesco, 2006/8/9, Francesco Paolo Lovergine <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?archive=no&bug=300251 Honest, what's the serious (aka policy violation) of such a thing? But for break quite a good number of programs if implemented, of course. We are not obliged to retain inter-distro compatibility and gratuitously changing the soname of the library. Also I do not see any link among the bugs you pointed. Maybe a typo??? my patch just switches to the upstream version number: instead of setting 'SOXAWREV = 6.1' it uses 'SoRev SOXAW7REV' which is a macro/define provided upstream. The mentioned bug reports are correct: scilab cannot be compiled with version 6.1 - it just requires version 7.

It does not seem a good reason to eventually break all other (in main) rdeps (e.g. emacs). I'm not inclined to adopt a new soname gratuitously, and it would be interesting finding who introduced that and why... I would be more inclined to patch scilab, which is non-free even. -- Francesco P. Lovergine -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
