Re: Upgrading dssp, cif-tools, density-fitness and others
Hi Andreas,
I would love to update my code in Debian, but the trouble is that Debian
demands shared libraries and when they break binary compatibility you
have to update the SONAME. And that means a new entry in the queue and
waiting for months. By the time the new SONAME is accepted, me being
upstream will have broken binary compatibility again.
And all my programs depend on libcifpp, which is in active development.
So, I'm a bit reluctant to update, it is so much work. If I were allowed
to make libcifpp a static library only, it would be much easier.
Anyway, I'll try to find some time to update the code myself.
regards, -maarten

Hi Maarten,
I realised that several packages you are Uploader (and upstream author?)
for have new version numbers. Would you mind updating this software
stack? Its not really urgent - I just wanted to express that I will not
touch these in my current attempt to upgrade our outdated packages.
Kind regards
Andreas.
