I assumed you meant to just leave the .so in the app package, not a separate -dev package. Obviously there not being a .so in the first place makes this whole discussion moot. > In general though I think including no headers and no .so for a > library makes a clear statement that build systems tend to > respect:-) Not having the .pc file and headers etc in the -dev package would prevent the build of anything with a decent pkg-config enabled build system, so that could work with a tweak to the policy to allow it. That would prevent the building of broken packages, though it's a bit of throwing the baby out with the bath water. It would be preferable to allow the build, but with a warning and a strict == dependency instead of the >= one. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with undefined - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJRJFNCAAoJEJrBOlT6nu75v8AIANLXbnsiU67N196IjH2dxwf2 AxkIBMYx11MVs9SaHdGXPG30s5KxPP6EvJb3SNdzUiwBQ828aDoCLBuctHZ6uFXw Iuy4qKtwh5rbifjEqyJL+gdPGkyvlQiO4RgS8VEb4K4G/0kKFFHN5/khpnrUEk3+ MjVzxfdDiMVws1RG032UsgYqS+Ga2QCQHcUSQ5QEt51olZIjpMKZ/iSI7UCWMzbB kvt6Rlo/6tC0rtXhSBoQb8KCnjNadECdwWaDK2eQzOAE5CYgFYTSdqnXxDNDp1IN 5iIB3RS0ra0GGo/6mSxLti+BiPsPjHTz3JW/0FH+7pOvyMy9hp+7ld6z/gWBEKM= =xww2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
