<br>
Just to have it here, too: I submitted a brand spanking new
version <br>
of libqtm-12 to extras (1.2.0+git20111104-0nd~fremantle5, in <br>
practice this is almost 1.2.1). Now, this is a completely
differently packaged<br>
libqtm-12 as the previous one, so I fully expect some breakage<br>
(reports of it welcome). On the flip side, the way I'm doing <br>
things should make it possible for applications depending on it
not <br>
to trip over each other and avoid promotion deadlocks. This
release <br>
will also be the migration path for apps depending on libqtm-11,
which I <br>
will kill with fire in the not so distant future as it crossed the
point of no <br>
return unmaintainability-wise (is that a word?) and are not
completely<br>
binary compatible with 1.2 anyway. The key message here is:<span

the way we promote<br>
packages is not suited for 'normally' packaged libraries in
deb/rpm repos, and<br>
seems that is so old that it doesn't handle Replaces: properly,
much less Breaks:.<br>
Therefore, all the libraries have been moved to one master
package, so<br>
that the incremental update/upgrade path can be maintained. Same
applies<br>
for the -dev package.<br>
