No, upstream has not done a new release in a while. Although I can (and plan to) package the current version in experimental once boost1.71 lands there. Since I don't follow Boost, a notification in this bug report would be appreciated. > Or shall i just blindly update the symbols file, rebuild ember and > hope for the best? > > How was this handled in cegui-mk2 before, when boost changed without > cegui-mk2 new upstream releases? I've only recently taken a more-active role in maintaining this package. I think I previously only submitted a few NMUs. But, I believe that what you listed is exactly what happened. I know I saw that with Ember (which I *have* been maintaining for a while). If you have any suggestions for a better, less-reactive, way forward on this I'm certainly open to it! > I would like to avoid diverging ABI between ubuntu & debian here. Absolutely! I'm a big fan of keeping Debian and Ubuntu closely synchronized. -Olek
