Hello, One of my packages (scite) ships with a static library called 'scintilla', which, in theory could be used as a shared library, if I made the appropriate code and makefile changes. I'm curious as to whether this is a Good Idea(tm) or if I should just leave it. Generally, I've considered making a scintilla-dev package, but since the two parts are always distributed together, and I can't find anything linked to it.. Anyway, here are my options, and I'd love to hear any comments: 1) Leave it as is. 2) Build a scintilla-dev package with the headers, and the .a lib. 3) Convert the library to a .so, submit it upstream, and hope they use it. I'm relatively new, and while I've fixed some upstream bugs, and 64-bit stuff, I'm not sure how much behavioural changes Debian maintainers should exert on something like this.
