[argyllcms] Re: Argyllcms 1.0.1 packaged in fedora-devel

Fréderic,

 I'm sorry, there is something here I don't understand: If I
***REQUIRE*** unchanging semantics as far as possible, bugs and all,
can I enforce that without static linking ?

 Please understand that some anonymous contributor  "fixing" a library
may cause a different instrument reading on some systems, which to an
instrument maker is a serious problem.
