FreeType 2 for Debian
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
Hurray! FreeType 2 is finally here! :-) The "7" in the package name
|
|
"libfreetype7" is the major soname of FreeType 2's libfreetype.
|
|
|
|
According to the FreeType 2 FAQ,
|
|
|
|
The FreeType 2 API is a lot simpler than the one in 1.x while being
|
|
much more powerful. We thus encourage you to adapt your source code
|
|
to it as this should not involve much work.
|
|
|
|
So please try your best to help migrate your software to FreeType 2.
|
|
|
|
FreeType 2.0.x can co-exist peacefully with FreeType 1.x with no namespace
|
|
conflicts. However, the source package names must be distinguished in
|
|
Debian. So, to truly conform with the library naming convention outlined
|
|
in the Debian Policy, I've decided the following names for the FreeType
|
|
packages in Debian 2.3:
|
|
|
|
FreeType 2.0.x:
|
|
Source package: freetype_2.0.x.orig.tar.gz (current version)
|
|
library package: libfreetype7_2.0.x-x (libfreetype, soname 7)
|
|
devel package: libfreetype7-dev_2.0.x-x (libfreetype, soname 7)
|
|
|
|
FreeType 1.x:
|
|
Source package: freetype1_1.x.orig.tar.gz (for FreeType 1)
|
|
library package: libttf2_1.x-? (libttf, soname 2)
|
|
devel package: libttf-dev_1.x-? (libttf, soname 2)
|
|
|
|
Simple, non?
|
|
|
|
Enjoy! :-)
