This has been nagging me ever since I read this thread: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2007/09/msg00889.html And I've been thinking about it more since 1.4.0 was released. The library isn't very useful for other applications; it's for lastfm and its bundled plugins: /usr/lib/lastfm/services/*. Also, upstream kept the same SONAME version for 1.4.0, but it's incompatible. So no, I wouldn't call that stable. Of course, lintian will complain if I remove the SONAME E: sharedobject-in-library-directory-not-actually-a-shlib So perhaps it would be best to use RPATH and make it a private library in /usr/lib/lastfm. I'd appreciate any further enlightenment. It would be great to get this resolved before I upload 1.4.0. Cheers, John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
