Hi All, With the trixie freeze dates being announced today I just wanted to touch base on this one and see how the ticket is progressing.
We seem to be in agreement that the SONAME should match upstream in the absence of a direct need for a Debian-specific SONAME. The question now is one of when this change should be implemented. I'm of the opinion that we should get this in sooner rather than later, else we'll be stuck for _another_ five years (or more) with the the resulting binary software incompatibilities. There's no reason to expect any breakage resulting from this change - the code is staying the same, we'll just need to adjust any dependencies that look for the Debian SONAME specifically. Cheers, Matt.
