A new version 1.0.0~20100125-1 has been uploaded to Debian. The build and
test was uneventful for my x86 ("i386" 32-bit) Linux system.

I'll follow up with the Swig package later or tomorrow.

Thanks, Dirk---and I didn't mention it before, but of course if you  
want to patch configure.ac in your port to better follow Debian policy  
and make it 1.0.0, you have my blessing...

Thanks -- I actually left things as they were but simply used 1.0.0 as the
Debian numbering which follows the existing pattern.

Any plans on changing the major/minor? It is still libQuantLib.so.0.0.0 --
should that change with 1.0 (or 1.0.0) ?  Just curious....

I'm still trying to wrap my head around libtool conventions.
According to
<http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual/html_node/Updating-version-info.html>, it should start at 0.0.0 and increase independently of the actual version number.

Yes, I am seeing that done as well.  Eg I worked a little with Google
ProtoBuf, and they are at 'API number 6' with actual version 2.3.0.

Either way, on the next API/ABI change we should probably move from 0.0.0 :)
Right now Debian simply encodes the QL version number in the name as the
three digits have never changed from 0.0.0.  That too, is common.  

Either way should work for me.  Not sure what is best / least work for you
and QL.
