Yes the change would only affect compiling applications, but I still think it's too invasive for an SRU.
> That could mean breaking compilation of some packages... but I don't think any package depends on GLFW. These are the reverse dependencies in xenial: $ reverse-depends -r xenial src:glfw Reverse-Depends =============== * info-beamer (for libglfw2) * libcegui-mk2-0.8.4 (for libglfw2) * pax-britannica (for libglfw2) * pink-pony (for libglfw2) You would also break every existing project which uses glfw2 (ie not packaged in Ubuntu) which does not use pkg-config. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1635684 Title: libglfw3-dev unnecessarily conflicts with libglfw-dev (for GLFW 2.x) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glfw3/+bug/1635684/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
