Re: Can upset handle more than one prev: tag?

I stillkeep perl-5.6.1 at the mirrors for people who don't believe that
the new perl-5.8 is ok. Now I have updated to 5.8.5 and removed 5.8.2
but got complaints because the postgres perl extension is linked against
5.8.2 DLL.

Shouldn't we then provide a cygperl5_8.dll symlinked to cygperl5_8_5.dll also (in linux fashion), and apps should link against cygperl5_8.dll resp. a more generic libperl.dll.a then?
otherwise you'll have to recompile all dependent apps.


BTW:
cygperl-5.8.5.dll filenames would also be okay, as long as the linker and dlopen gets the basename+extension passed.
Without the ".dll" extension it will not be found.


I need to rethink the package naming if it is not possible
to get mroe than one prev tag into setup.ini (automatically, as
mentioned it works well with setup.exe).
