Package: libopenal0
Version: 0.2005080600-2.1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Hi!
[I tried to contact you via private mail, but I don't answer
challenge/response messages (and consider them inappropriate for a
Package Maintainer address, it's blocking out users)]
Anyway, here is the problem layed out again: I checked the diff between
the openal dev package in stable and unstable, and found myself
confrontated with quite a huge diff. Given that the library still sets
its versioning as being at the same ABI/API level this is a grave
problem because partly upgrades of either the library or packages
compiled against the library will break.
Please read up on the libtool versioning and advice the upstream
developers carefully about such things, use a -release version (which
gets incorporated directly into the filename) or provide only the
library for static linking.
Either way, the package in its current state isn't practical for a
release. I tried to address you privately first, but given to the
outlined reason from above it wasn't possible to me.
So long,
Alfie
