That's the classical problem when any dependency gets updated.
When I wrote my very first plugin (something like 7 years ago
IIRC) and it was reviewed by the LADSPA gods, they advised me

with the sources.

Yes, winters here in Parma are worse than in Belgium.
Pollution here is probably less than in Turin. In fact
since mid may the whole region, and even the center of
Parma has this intense 'tiglio' perfume in the air.
