Bug#662663: please bring the old RTSPClient interface back

[Wouter Verhelst]

Package: liblivemedia-dev
Version: 2012.02.29-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

The upstream liveMedia changelog says:

2012.02.29:
- We no longer define RTSPCLIENT_SYNCHRONOUS_INTERFACE by default.  Consequently, the old, now-deprecated 'synchronous' "RTSPClient"
  interface will no longer be available, by default.  If you still want this, however, you can get it by "#define"ing
  RTSPCLIENT_SYNCHRONOUS_INTERFACE before "RTSPClient.hh" gets included the first time.

Unfortunately, that is not true for Debian, since the old interface is
also not found in the static library anymore. This means that the
dvswitch 0.9 upload that I wanted to do today isn't going to happen.

While deprecating things so they can be removed in the long run is
probably a good idea, it would be nice if this wasn't forced overnight.

Please make sure that for the time being, the symbols for the old
interface are still available in the static library for those who still
need it.

Thanks,
