Hey everyone, I've noticed that gdk-imlib1-dev is now in oldlibs and not supported anymore on some architectures after browsing my packages via <http://qa.debian.org>. But libgnome-dev still depends on oldlib's gdk-imlib1-dev instead of devel's gdk-imlib-dev. I've also noticed the rather long thread on the BTS: #159489: libgnome-dev should not depend on imlib1-dev <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=159489&repeatmerged=yes> but I don't really have the time to make sense of it all. So what should we be doing? Still rely on libgnome-dev to compile GNOME 1.x applications? Manually rewrite Build-Depends to use gdk-imlib-dev? Should/Will I have to recompile all my GNOME packages if libgnome-dev switches over to depend on gdk-imlib-dev? In short: What's going on? (to a GNOME/GTK+ coding novice) Yours sincerely, Andrew "Netsnipe" Lau -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Andrew 'Netsnipe' Lau Computer Science & Sturep, UNSW * * "apt-get into it" Debian GNU/Linux Packager * * <netsnipe(+)debianplanet.org\0> <alau(+)cse.unsw.edu.au\0> * * GnuPG 1024D/2E8B68BD 0B77 73D0 4F3B F286 63F1 9F4A 9B24 C07D 2E8B 68BD * ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
