libtiff4. During the libtiff4 -> libtiff5 transition, the tiff source
package is providing transitional packages for libtiff4-dev and
libtiff5-alt-dev. If you have a package with a build dependency on
libtiff-dev, you don't have to care about any of this. Otherwise, the
notes below describe what you should do to make sure your package is
ready for the transition.
* If your package build-depends on libtiff-dev already, no action
required; the release team will automatically schedule a rebuild of
your package at the appropriate time.
* If your package depends on libtiff4-dev but can work fine with tiff
4.x (most packages), replace your dependency on libtiff4-dev with a
new dependency on libtiff-dev.
* If your package build-depends on libtiff5-dev or libtiff5-alt-dev and
is known to work with both tiff 3.x and tiff 4.x (i.e., it does not
use the BIGTIFF extensions in tiff 4.x), you can just change the
build dependency to an unversioned libtiff-dev. You can also remove
any special code that you may have added to your package to get it to
find tiff in the non-standard location. If you were finding tiff
with pkg-config, you shouldn't have to make any changes to your
package other than the build dependency.
* If your package build-depends on libtiff5-dev, you don't HAVE to do
anything, but you may be helping yourself in the future if you change
the build dependency to libtiff-dev (>> 4.0.3-6~).
