Having debug symbols not matching the runtime would cause a great deal of trouble. If you're expecting a lot of debugging, try the new -Og switch. One build pass and let dh_strip create the debug symbols package for you. Unless you're not using dh, in which case your build system is probably already broken and needs to get fixed first. -- Stephen M. Webb signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Perhaps what is not clear is that there is no old version. The SDL2 family of libraries is not a new version of the SDL family of libraries so much as a new set of incompatible libraries serving the same purpose, from the same people. There is no common code base and the libraries are one hundred percent parallel-installable. You can't use the old changelog, there isn't one. I for one appreciate seeing an ITP for the long-anticipated libsdl2 packages, so at least I know someone is intending to package them. It may not be Policy to require closing a bug when putting a package on the NEW queue, but it's established documented practice. After all, isn't that one of the purposes of filing a bug against WNPP? -- Stephen M. Webb signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

I can't say with absolute certainty because of the myriad patches and versions floating around, but squeeze *should* support the required multi-touch driver in-kernel and definitely has the XI2.2 protocol in the x.org server.

An organization that will not accept the GPLv3 because of the tivoization and patent clauses will not accept GPLv2 or later. The "or later" clause means a downstream can invoke their rights under the GPLv3 to demand secret encryption keys or upstream can revoke the license for patent action. These organizations do not accept GPLv2+ because it's effectively GPLv3. -- Stephen M. Webb -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

The "or later" means my clients' lawyers state unequivocally that they will not accept GPLv2+ software, but GPLv2-only is completely acceptable. This is not an isolated incident.
