Re: GNOME 1 ABI involving libpng
Hi,
The gdk-imlib1 linked with libpng2 has returned to the archive.
[Well, the sources are there, the binary packages will be available
when the autobuilders get to them.]
If you wish to build your imlib-using program or library with libpng2,
just update your build-depends to gdk-imlib1-dev or imlib1-dev. This
will be helpful for anyone who also builds against libgdk-pixbuf. ;-)

For what it's worth, Redhat did this for gdk-imlib in their beta
("rawhide") release. It probably is a good idea. They did it by
ripping the relevant code out of glib and linking it directly into
imlib. Rather than repeat this with each plugin-type library, maybe
the glib authors would accept a patch for it.
