Smoke is *not* considered stable, so we have to ensure that users don''t mix smoke and language bindings from different versions. So we should either revert it or do it another way. I personally like it this way as it shows quite clearly that we want strict interdependencies. /Sune -- How may I reconfigure the hardware of a laser modem over the wordprocessor on a provider? You neither have to install the front-side bus, nor should log from a 4-bit cable, this way then you can''t debug a clock on the POP mousepad over the site and then you must ping to the application to overclock a ISDN application. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

But I thought that the shlibs:Depends would more-or-less take care of that, but, surely enough, stronger dependencies would probably not hurt.> So we should either revert it or do it another way.

We should probably document that in debian/packaging-notes or something so that no one else makes the same mistake Cheers, Vincent -- Vincent Fourmond, Debian Developer http://vince-debian.blogspot.com/ I have always wished for my computer to be as easy to use as my telephone; my wish has come true because I can no longer figure out how to use my telephone. -- Bjarne Stroustrup Vincent, listening to Down To The Waterline (Dire Straits)
