Hello,
Brad King recently fix the versioning in VTK CVS (before the 5.0)
branch. And I believe everything is set properly using CMake: SOVERSION.
Brad do you want to add anything ?

Hi,
I've just been talking to some of the people on #debian about this and
we've agreed that API changes (e.g. those from 4.2 to 4.4) without
soname bumps are a serious bug. Unfortunately, it looks like upstream
doesn't behave sanely in this area. As the Debian maintainer, are you
aware of any upstream discussions about this or would it be worthwhile
me taking the time to talk to upstream, either through you or not
depending on your preference. Can we do something like this if upstream
don't want to fix it before vtk5?

It looks like Cmake can cope with SONAME changes in a sane manner so
this may be possible...
Would you accept help in this matter so that we can manage API
transitions more gracefully in future?
I haven't upgraded the bug to serious as it will affect the C++
transition when it occurs; I'll leave it up to you what to do with that.
Cheers,
Mark
