Indeed, it looks like the soname change was unnecessary. It's too late to fix now, though. Can we perhaps agree on a different procedure for soname changes? If a patch requires a soname change, then alert the list here. Then interested developers can double-check whether a change really is necessary and/or whether a different solution can be found. In addition, the email will serve as warning about upcoming soname changes for developers (like me) who want to provide pre-compiled binaries. -- Bye, Patrick Ohly -- patrick.o...@gmx.de http://www.estamos.de/ _______________________________________________ evolution-hackers mailing list evolution-hackers@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
