Hi,
As the maintainer of the calibre port, while trying to update to 6.18.x
I've discovered that now calibre requires the new API/ABI incompatible
podofo 0.10 version.
I also guess that other ports will also grow such requirements in the
future.
So my question, both general and to the sunpoet as podofo maintainer,
is, how should we address this?
Also, is this already being addressed, maybe?
We can't simply update graphics/podofo, obviously (all dependent ports
would brake).
Plan 1 - My first idea is creating a graphics/podofo10 port that can be
installed in parallel with graphics/podofo (by changing the name of
every file installed that conflicts), so that ports moving to the newer
library can be patched to use the newer one.
That's how it is done for other dependencies in other ports sometimes.
netbox and gitlab often have such cases.
plan 2 - Another option is doing the same as above, but my updating
podofo to the latest version and moving old 0.9.x to a graphics/podofo09
(or whatever) port, updating all dependencies to use the older port for now.
Also fine.
Suspected that, I'm also waiting for sunpoet (as podofo maintainer)
opinion. Maybe he also already has a plan or is working on something
that I don't know about.
