What I had in mind was something that would work for upstreams as well, |
9 |
mostly by having fallback; so if a package supported up to libpng 1.4 it |
10 |
would search for -lpng14, then -lpng12, then -lpng (and in Gentoo would |
11 |
hit -lpng14); while one supporting 1.5 as well would go -lpng15 -lpng14 |
12 |
-lpng12 -lpng ... |
13 |
|
14 |
i.e. what most already do for berkdb but at some point with us not |
15 |
providing -lpng at all, if most upstreams would like that idea. |
16 |
|
17 |
But it's still a bit hairy at the moment, I admit it might just not fly. |
