Hello Russel,
I am the maintainer of the Debian package for ODE. Currently there is
only a libode-dev package containing static libraries of ODE, because
judging from the way your tarball only builds static libs and the
version is < 1.0, the API is unstable. However, ODE is used by a number
of projects (including some packaged for Debian), and some people (see
attachment) feel that it is stable enough for their use, and hence
they'd like a shared a library with a stable API. Could you comment on
the current state of ODE and where development is currently heading?
Thanks,
--=20
Met vriendelijke groet / with kind regards,
Guus Sliepen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Note that keeping a non-pic version of ode is only useful if you need to
link with another non-pic object, which should only happen if this is
non-free sofware, or because of minor performance difference, but this
is Debian not Gentoo, am i right ?
As the linker is not capable to handle cases where a pic dynamic library
link with a non-pic static one on few architectures, as the ode
maintainer is willing to follow this not-so-good policy requirement,
and because i cannot remove the use of ode in the application i am
packaging, i am obliged to add a silly patch to use the -pic static
library. I won't maintain such a dirty upstream source modification for
long.
Ode was created in 2001, and now that several years have passed, should
be able to provide a stable ABI and provide a shared library. So i think
we could ask upstream to make some efforts. Using such static-only
libraries are a pain to manage, and should only be used as a temporary
solution.
That's why i am modifying my request, thus changing severity and removing
the wontfix tag.
