The package builds fine, but apparently libppl-c has seen a SONAME change (0 -> 2); was that intentional? The ChangeLog doesn't contain any information about recent changes, and it doesn't seem to be documented elsewhere.
Dear Michael,
the ChangeLog is updated just before the official releases and a few other times. Concerning the version info of the C interface, here is its history, as reported in the file interfaces/C/Makefile.am:
# PPL release -version-info # 0.1 ----- # 0.2 ----- # 0.3 ----- # 0.4 0:0:0 # 0.5 1:0:1 # 0.6 1:0:1 # 0.6.1 1:0:1 # 0.7 1:0:1 # 0.8 1:0:1 # 0.9 1:0:1 # 0.10 2:0:0
LIBPPL_C_LT_CURRENT = 2 LIBPPL_C_LT_REVISION = 0 LIBPPL_C_LT_AGE = 0
Because of the resulting new binary package libppl-c2 the upload is now awaiting approval by Debian ftp-masters and it will take a few more days until it reaches the Debian archives.
I thought this was only an exercise to make sure there are no packaging problems. I mean, the official release of PPL 0.10 is really imminent now so it is probably best to wait and ship the real thing. All the best,
Roberto
