Hmmm there were only 2 revisions of quilt's .pc dir format as far as I know and it doesn't look like they gonna change it again anytime soon. And there is strong collaboration between dpkg & quilt maintainers in Debian. Quilt source package depends on dpkg full compatibility with quilt, because quilt patch series are used to patch upstream quilt for a debian release. Incompatible quilt will never be released in Debian without dpkg supporting new .pc dir format. _______________________________________________ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
