Source: openh323 Version: 1.18.0.dfsg-2 Severity: grave openh323 now builds three different variants of the library: the plain, the -ptrace one and the -develop one.
The plain version is now compiled with NOTRACE which unfortunately changes the ABI. This is a bug by itself, since there was no SONAME bump (and IMHO we shouldn't break the SONAME) and programs linked against the old version of libopenh323-dev wouldn't necessarily work with the new libopenh323-1.18.0 package Besides that, openh323u.mak sets NOTRACE to nothing which results in passing -DPTRACING to all source files of the program linking against libopenh323. Programs expect that when PTRACING is defined, the library is supporting PTRACE and may use it to guard such function calls. Until upstream provides a better way that does not break the ABI (e.g. by providing stub functions), the -ptrace binary should be reinstated as the default one. In case the performance benefits are big enough and upstream does not help, we could create another package called -notrace/-server/-something and ship different shlibs and a modified openh323u.mak makefile in a separate -dev package. I've discussed this briefly with Kilian on IRC but I'm reporting it anyway to the BTS with the appropriate severity so that the package won't migrate to testing.
