Hi there. I am the Debian maintainer of dvdbackup. It is my impression that upstream dvdbackup has disappeared. At the very least, they don't answer my patches. I am happy to apply the patch you sent (thanks for that, by the way) but I do feel a bit like the soname should change when exported symbols are dropped, even if they were accidentally exported. If dvdbackup is definitely the only piece of software using a symbol that was supposed to be internal, then I agree, I'll just apply the patch and move on. But it is difficult to be sure, and that's why I mention it. > Are there any other projects in debian that are using UDFFindFile > or other functions that aren't exported? I will attempt to look in the morning and see if I can identify any others. > I'm going to release 0.9.6 next week (small fixes for macos/bsd and > some extra functions to get the information needed by dvdbackup) so > you could maybe apply the attached patch to dvdbackup in debian then? > Does this seem ok ? I will definitely apply the patch and get it uploaded shortly. It is just other unidentified software suites I am worried about.
