+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> &gt; It has a new upstream version 3.0.11 available. It builds fine here.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> &gt; The major number changes from 5 to 6 in this version, which is why I am
+</I>&gt;<i> asking if it is OK to update this package.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> did you try it before ? (i mean at least rebuild major packages based on it? )
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> No, but predicting what will build in Cauldron is a crapshoot at best anyway.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> I don't know exactly what this package does or even what most of the packages
+</I>&gt;<i> that require it are. I just know that it's installed on my system and I don't
+</I>&gt;<i> want unmaintained stuff bitrotting away on my system, hence the interest.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Hopefully someone with some insight can say yay or nay.

+It looks safe to update, the major change seems to be mostly because
+some debug functions are not exported anymore.
+
+Our biggest users are glib, mesa, wayland, python and llvm.
+They will have to be rebuilt.
+
+Go for it, if you can handle rebuilding all its dependencies.
