old versions: svgalib-bin?
I'm currently working on svgalib (mostly for libc6).
As it stands now, I would like to make the following name-changes:
svgalib1 -> svgalib1g (libc6 protocol)
svgalib1-dev -> svgalib1g-dev (libc6 protocol)
svgalib1-bin -> svgalib-bin (there's no reason to put the soname in
a package that uses svgalib1g, I'd say).
aout-svgalib -> - (obvious)
So, for the libraries at least I will not need the epoch's any more,
as I'm changing the name of the package.
The thing that worries me is svgalib-bin: there may be (very old) versions
of a package called "svgalib-bin" around, with a version like 1.210, though
it seems that very far in the past the whole lot was just called
"svgalib", with no package-subdivisions. So, I'd like to know:
- has there ever been a "svgalib-bin" package?
- if so, was this just a brief period in "unstable", or am
I likely to encounter users who upgrade from say 1.1 that still
have a "svgalib-bin" package.
- what's the version of that "svgalib-bin" package (if it exist)?
higer than 1.2.10 -- (like 1.210), or am I lucky and was it
still 0.99 or something?
If nobody responds, I'll assume the distribution of "svgalib-bin"
packages isn't very widespread, and I can just use that name.
(Oh, and remind me to also upgrade the upstream source, somebody
once reported that there was a security bug in 1.2.10, but the guy never
actually bothered to say what the bug was[1], so I'm not very inclined
to trust him).
[1] other than something as vague as "fails to surrender priveleges".
