I see. Technical issues *and* bureaucracy.<br>
<br>
Those shlibs are, presumaby, shared libraries, which have to have some<br>
kind of version numbers attached to them, so that different programs,<br>
which may be linked with different versions, can seek out their own<br>
mates at run time.<br>
<br>
Presumably the details involve changes in the gambit build system.<br>
<br>
Debian does have stringent conditions on their packages, don't they?<br>
<br>
Still, I don't see why they should consider gambc orphaned if there's<br>
someone activey trying to be the maintainier.<br>
<br>
Though it's probably unlikely because I have no experience building<br>
Debian packages, let me know if I can help in some way. Perhaps I<br>
could test-install on an 1386 jessie system or an AMD64 wheezy.<br>
