Of course, I'm assuming that upstream knows what they are doing and not just having soname=version and deleting or changing interfaces in the library. Some upstream are clueless that way. You will also need to be careful about when you run dh_makeshlibs if you manually set the version numbers. - Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
