I see. So why has gnutls removed the sonumber from the -dev package? It may make your transitions appear easier in that you don't have to rely on dependent packages to change their BD, but will create other problems. If there is a major API change in the future that takes upstream packages a few years to migrate to, Debian will be stuck because we can't support build depends for two versions in the same archive. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
