Please educate your upstream about what SONAMEs mean? You are right to follow upstream's SONAME scheme rather than inventing Debian-specific SONAMEs. However, the SONAME should normally only change if the new version's ABI is incompatible with the old; this is something that upstream developers of libraries are expected to get right.

I thought for a moment that you meant the reverse-dependencies hard-coded the ptlib version number, either directly or by build-depending on a -dev package with the version in. Thankfully, they do not: the -dev package is libptlib-dev, and simply rebuilding the reverse dependencies (which the release team will schedule to be done automatically) will result in picking up the new ptlib. > I have just committed the changes in debian/ to allow building ptlib > 2.10.11, they are at > http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/pkg-voip/ptlib/branches/ptlib2.10-luyten. > I have also built the package, the generated files are at > http://eugen.dedu.free.fr/ek-debian. Thanks, I'll try to find time to check that. S
