Re: New libtiff version in rawhide, requires dependent packages rebuild

I have pushed libtiff 4.0.1 into rawhide, replacing libtiff 3.9.5. This entails a library soname bump and a few small source-level incompatibilities, as detailed at http://www.remotesensing.org/libtiff/v4.0.0.html By my count there are about a hundred dependent packages (see list below), so to avoid breaking rawhide until everything can be rebuilt, I have put the old 3.9.x library into a temporary subpackage "libtiff-compat". (We used the same trick a few months ago for libpng and it seemed to work all right.) I did trial rebuilds of all these packages against libtiff 4.0.1, and found only three that appear to need any source-code changes; though another dozen have pre-existing FTBFS problems which means I can't tell for sure if they would build against the new libtiff. If any of these packages are yours, please rebuild at the soonest opportunity. If you need advice about fixing either libtiff- or libpng-dependent code, contact me off-list and I'll be glad to try to help. regards, tom lane
