After some more poking it turns out that it is actually - as initially intended - supposed to be compatible. In fact, all the users of the API do in fact fall back to calling path() currently, so it is likely that the package will not hit stable in its current form, and instead another update should allow plugins using the old version to be accepted by the loader. It is definitely our intention to at least write a proper summary of the changes on our devel list when such changes are actually incompatible before moving them to the stable repository, after all. > May I ask how packages from your "pvetest" transition into stable?

There's no formally defined waiting period there, as our packages are mostly updated in a rolling-release fashion. We do usually try to avoid breaking changes within a major release, though. _______________________________________________ drbd-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linbit.com/mailman/listinfo/drbd-user
