Right, it used autoconf even in the 1.2.x releases? If I build pristine serf from upstream 1.3.x today with scons it uses a libserf-1.so.1 soname. Using the autoconf build system as shipped with serf 1.0 thru 1.2.x gave us libserf-1.so.0. I assume the soname bump was not intended without an ABI break. > > What's the comment about the packages being broken about, the .pc files > > issue? > > > > See Graham Leggett's problems building Subversion on EL9: > https://lists.apache.org/thread/4wkbjhfpg9yyn10x827g65r9y50dgl74.

I'll try to get the fix merged to RHEL10/CentOS Stream 10. Regards, Joe
