[Oibaf (oibaf)]

Is this a problem? On 10.10 there aren't packages depending on libirrlicht1.7 and on natty 1.7.2 is highly recommended due to 1.7.1 bugs with supertuxkart 0.7 (crash, graphic corruption, keyboard not working on full screen).

[Christoph Egger (christoph-egger)]

It might at least break anything locally build using the 1.7.1 package. The breakage itself is in theory easy-ish to fix -- just patch the handfull of *virtual* destructors back in -- it's just not really rewarding and I have a lot of other stuff to do. Might appear soon or not at all depending.

Don't think making a exception now and let the broken ABI slip in is wise in long term.

[Christoph Egger (christoph-egger)]

ftr: no reaction on the upstream bug isn't a good sign and there's certainly no-one willing to fix it for every other upstream release or ignore it "because we made a exception now"

[Christoph Egger (christoph-egger)]

going now with a custom soname probably -- just too much pain working around the added struct members and stuff.
