2.6.0 was released publicly at https://sourceforge.net/projects/opencryptoki/files/libica/
The symbols removed in 2.6.2, were presented in 2.6.1 which is in Ubuntu and Debian today. It is an abi break, to ship 2.6.2 I would have to change the soname to a debian specific one, that would be bad as shared code compiled on ubuntu/debian would then not link/run on other platforms and/or upstream builds. 16.04 had feature freeze in Februrary. If libica is so unstable and cannot maintain an abi, maybe we should not ship it all and wait for the 3.x release then? The patch between 2.6.1 and 2.6.2 has a lot of noise which is not a clear performance regression bug fix. Thus falls out of scope. E.g: - memcpy(&sha_context->shaHash, output_data, LENGTH_SHA_HASH); + memcpy(&sha_context->shaHash, output_data, SHA_HASH_LENGTH); Cannot possibly be a performance improvement =) If there is a clean patch, with just actual performance enhancement, without spurious refactors and wtihout breaking the ABI, it can be included. Otherwise, upstream need to make an abi breaking release and a new request for inclusion filed for the 16.10 release. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1566238 Title: Upgrade package to libica 2.6.2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libica/+bug/1566238/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
