Hi, Neil Williams: > By having separate source packages, a stable API becomes mandatory.
You're correct in that it is easier to keep an API stable when you have separate repositories. But that is not a hard requirement. There are other ways to keep APIs stable. Like, for instance, publishing a specification (once you _have_ a stable API) and sticking to that. But when things are in flux and you're in the process of figuring out what the API should look like in the first place, having multiple places to update, which can and will get out of sync, is no fun. -- -- Matthias Urlichs -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
