Hi Jochen, Quoting Jochen Sprickerhof (2024-09-10 11:38:04) from the ell (0.69-1) changelog: > > [ Jonas Smedegaard ] > * update symbols: drop 2 symbols, add 6 symbols > > That sounds like you should bump the Soname and do a proper transition.
Yes, I should have (past tense), that is the ideal approach. Problem in that is that upstream do not use a Soname, so it would either result in maintaining a slight fork, or involve convincing upstream to care more strongly about backwards compatibility than they do now, and maintain a Soname. What I am exploring now (after the damage is done) is if the one other package depending on ell can be patched to work with this change, and then move on without Soname for now. I have now learned that a) I cannot trust upstream in only dropping obsolete symbols, and b) even the removal of unused symbols cause linking to fail. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ * Sponsorship: https://ko-fi.com/drjones [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
