I will admit not fully understanding the three components used as eg in upstream's configuire.ac: dnl Library versioning (C:R:A == current:revision:age) dnl See the libtool manual for an explanation of the numbers dnl dnl gsl-1.0 libgsl 0:0:0 libgslcblas 0:0:0 [...] dnl gsl-2.6 libgsl 25:0:0 libgslcblas 0:0:0 dnl gsl-2.7 libgsl 26:0:1 libgslcblas 0:0:0 and GSL_CURRENT=26 GSL_REVISION=0 GSL_AGE=1 If I understand you correctly we needed / need dnl gsl-2.7 libgsl 26:0:0 libgslcblas 0:0:0 GSL_CURRENT=26 GSL_REVISION=0 GSL_AGE=0 Is that correct (as far as the Debian package goes) ? What do you (ie Sebastian) suggest we do going forward? Be more careful about increasing CURRENT (only) when the ABI changes? (And I CC'ed Patrick from GSL upstream now.)
