Re: [DebianGIS] geos
hi steve,
while libgeos_c provides a solid c api, it is calling the changing c++
source, and may still differ internally for each c++ version.
moreover, the c api has no usage other than an interface to libgeos.
thus, i would suggest making, if possible, only one library
(libgeos.so.*), with the c api source linked in, and one package, as before.
this way, c++ programs will still call c++ interface, while newer c
programs will only use the stable c api, and will tolerate every change
in libgeos due to upgrades, etc.
best regards,
alex
