Hi Michel, thanks for your mail.
It should fix issues with broken shared libs when upgrading, e.g.:
- xmonad 0.9.2 -> 0.10 dyn shared lib bump (F16); - F16 -> F17
libgmp soname bump
Is there a way for testing if I'm already on the F-17 branch -- would installing the version not in updates-testing and then upgrading be sufficient, or does one need to start from F-16?
Ah yes good question. Basically not - if you're already using F17 or installed F17 instead of upgrading then it is hard to reproduce. I guess at least you can check that the new xmonad-start still works for you.
I suppose I could upload example xmonad-$(arch)-linux files to my people a/c or if you have an F16 still around it should be easy to make one yourself.
Also I only tested x86_64 so far. Can someone tell me if i686 binary is called ~/.xmonad/xmonad-i686-linux or xmonad-i386-linux? If it is the latter I think I might need to respin the updates.
