Hi,
I maintain LibRaw, which is only a static library -- upstream has
rejected the idea of maintaining dynamic libs since they would have to
take care of ABI compatibility across releases.
I wanted to know if there are any other only-static libraries out
there and how they maintainers manage releases. I had packaged this to
build Shotwell 0.6.x but I understand there are a couple of other apps
too that build against this now. Do i have to keep track of all of
them and coordinate releases with them, i.e. announce an update, have
them test and then push a build? Or do I just go ahead and build in
rawhide and then wait for someone to complain?
Thanks,
Siddhesh
