Hi, I have a little trouble with SDL_image which I maintain. I made two packages, libsdl-image1.0 and libsdl-image-dev. Until recently SDL_image was built with SDL1.0, the stable release. The current versions need SDL1.1, the unstable release. Unfortunately I built and uploaded SDL_image with that, which causes now quite some trouble, SDL1.1 is not backwards compatible with 1.0. Even more unfortunately the version number of sdl_image was not changed and one of the authors does not intend to do so. I did not hear from the other one yet. What should I do: - create sdl-image1.0.8[-dev], the last version which works with SDL1.0 and build sdl-image1.0 for SDL1.1 - use an epoch to build sdl-image1.0 with 1.0.8 sources and drop all newer versions which need SDL1.1 (or make a new source package, sdl-image1.1 or something for that) - file a bug against ftp.d.o to get sdl-image and all packages depending on it removed? Somehow I opt for the second, with not creating any packages for SDL1.1. Unless the second maintainer comes to his senses and creates packages with proper version numbers... Comments? And how do I use an epoch? Christian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
