At the moment I've only revived the patch as it stood some months before your work on the debian build. I'll be adding the SOVERSION bit back in, it just needs some slight more work. I'm thinking of having it as part of the libparrot Configure test. I've made a few changes to your debian build files, but haven't been able to check that the changes actually work, so if I add the SOVERSION functionality into the patch later this evening, could you let me know what else needs doing to make things work? I hope that the work that I'm doing it helpful to your build process! [Since my earlier email, I've made some extra changes to the 'make install' code to make sure that libraries go into lib/, not lib/blib/lib] Cheers, Nick
