Hi Gianfranco, I've just got a change to take a look at the new libpng package. A remark:
- The change that libbpng-dev only recommends libpng16-devtools will cause some build failures, as several packages needs the devtool to be pulled in but do not declare a dependency on this. Of course they can B-D on libpng16-devtools (but requires several sourceful uploads during the transition), but than we have that nasty SONAME back in the B-depdencies... Should we provide also a SONAME-neutral package name here? I once said that we should check if we could just drop libpng16-devtools' dependency on libpng-dev... Did you check if that is feasible? In that case we could retain the dependency on libpng-devtools and it would also not be necessary to have an libpng-devtools package/provide.. -- tobi
