You should not bump the SONAME. You should bump the shlibs dependency (as generated by dh_makeshlibs if you're using debhelper) to the new version of the package, though, since binaries built against the new library might not work with the old library. You could also provide a symbols file with appropriate version numbers for when each symbol was introduced, but symbols files are optional (and can be tricky with C++ since the symbol names can vary per architecture). -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
