Hi Tobias Thanks for the advice. Most of the current lintian warnings are "pedantic" or "wishlist" and some of them directly affect the build process. Since this upload adds multi-arch support to the package I didn't want to mess too much with other aspects of building the package - I'd rather have just one major building-related change per package revision, makes it a bit easier to find bugs. Also, the warning about dev-pkg-without-shlib-symlink (which is the only real complaint from lintian that I see) is IMHO not entirely correct. lintian seems to expect a symlink called "libid3-3.8.so" while the policy manual says "The development package should contain a symlink for the associated shared library without a version number". I'm assuming that this is because the id3lib package has not seen an upstream release in over a decade and we are carrying lots of packing-related information in our version strings these days (such as the "c2a" from the C++ ABI change in 2005). I could of course just add a lintian override and be done with it but I figured it would be better to keep this warning around as a reminder for me to look into the issue. Anyway, I *did* upload a new version which fixes a small issue with the previous upload and I'm looking forward to additional comments. If anyone feels the urge to upload it that would be appreciated. cheers -- Stefan Ott http://www.ott.net/
