It's not quite a week, yet, but I still don't see any sign of a 3.4.1 on
the download sites. Even though revision 1f294d ("Bump FG version on the
branch" on flightgear to 3.4.1) dates back to Feb 23. There's no tag
yet, though.

I'm not sure if Debian experimental is the right place to branch from,
as I usually consider that to be ... well, experimental.

How do you ideally want to work together? Would an ubuntu-vivid branch
make sense? Or more generally, a 3.4-stable branch?

This doesn't seem to affect Debian, as 3.4 is unlikely to go into any
stable release (certainly not jessie). And for experimental, I wouldn't
mind a SONAME change.

Oh, thanks, I wasn't aware of that.
