[arch-general] About libxaw
The last libxaw package (1.0.5-1) doesn't include version 8 of the library. This breaks some package in community. Example binaries linked to libXaw.so.8: · /usr/bin/lqtplay from libquicktime-1.0.3-2 · /usr/bin/FreeWRL_Message from freewrl-1.20.1-1 Should libxaw include libXaw8.a, libXaw8.so...? Or those packages need a rebuild? Side notes: 1. the libquicktime package doesn't depend on libxaw; 2. freewrl depends on libxaw; no version specified (it can't); 3. should libxaw package provide versioned libraries? Also /usr/lib/libXaw.so from libxaw-1.0.4-1 linked to libXaw8.so; now links to libXaw7.so. bye

Downloaded the libXaw sources; Xaw8 was removed, so the affected packages need a rebuild. I'll file a bug report for libquicktime and freewrl.
