There are several TelepathyQt-related projects in GSoC under Debian this year:
https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/organizations/5023548368224256/?sp-page_size=48 To make things easier for students (and the wider pool of mentors who may be testing their work) it will be helpful to address some ABI issues and shared library packaging: - if the ABI is changing on each release, should TelepathyQt libs use an SONAME such as libtelepathy-qt4-0.9.6.so.0 ? Currently it is libtelepathy-qt4.so.2 - that was used for both 0.9.4 and 0.9.6 but I'm not sure if they are ABI compatible? The reSIProcate project uses the version-in-SONAME convention, e.g. when you build the 1.10.1 or 1.10.2 release, you have the SONAME libresip-1.10.so and all releases in the 1.10.x series are guaranteed to be ABI compatible. - the libtelepathy-qt?-service.so needs to be in the packages as a shared object. The concerns about the stability of this API/ABI can probably be addressed by the SONAME proposal above. _______________________________________________ telepathy mailing list [email protected] https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/telepathy
