Indeed, the SONAME is bumped.
1.6.0 builds liblas.so.2 and liblas_c.so.2 (and there are other differences,
such as cmake instead of autotools).
The only reverse-dependency is python-liblas. So there's not even need to
coordinate the transition with the RT.
However, 1.6.0 includes a python binding, which is identical to python-liblas
1.6.0. Better, it includes a testsuite and code examples.
libLAS 1.6.0 also includes C# bindings, which I believe worth building and
distributing in binary packages.
Here's my proposed plan:
1. prepare liblas-1.6.0, with SONAME bumped (liblas2), and new binary packages
(I still have to check the differences between liblas.so and liblas_c.so,
and if they deserve separate packages)
2. ask for removal of python-liblas
3. upload liblas to NEW
4. package gets ACCEPTED
5. PROFIT.
There's no need of Conflicts, Breaks or such other things, as the version is
greater than the one currently in archive, so users will just see a new version
of the python-liblas binary package (and they don't care about the originating
source package).
Any comments?
Kindly,
David
