Last time I asked: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2013/09/msg00335.html It was prefered to provide a C++98 ABI compatible library for the time being. If you start providing a C++11 ABI library people will not be able to mix symbols from your lib and other part of debian system. As far as I understand the whole debian should transition to C++11 ABI at the same time. 2cts -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
