That's exactly what I was looking for, much thanks. In my precise case upstream doesn't ship shared libs, and it is more with the debian maintainer that there is coordination. I think it would be nice, in the future, to have guidance for packagers when there is a change in compiler generated library ABI like the g77 -> gfortran change or past C++ ABI breakage I remember. If I recall well these issues were more or less announced, but not necessarily with enough precisions for the maintainers. I don't know exactly who should be responsible of such things, but it would be nice to have some information. -- Pat -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
