Please, try to not break API/ABI compatibility in future libgtop2
versions. It's a pain having a new library that conflicts with the old
one and needs to recompile all the packages that use libgtop2.
Just take gtk+2 as an example. They haven't broken API/ABI compatibility
since gtk+-2.0. Sure they add new functions but don't break already
established API/ABI.

Hi,
Nothing to do with the distribution, that's an upstream decision. I've
already argued with the upstream maintainer about this, according to him
that's not possible to work with libgtop without breaking the ABI. I'm
closing the bug here, feel free to argue upstream.
Cheers,
Sebastien Bacher
