I also was confused by *.kiface and had to do some research to figure
out what was safe to do with it when tracking down potential conflicts
between a build from source and a system installed kicad. I also would
much prefer *.so. It's really helpful when software follows the standard
of whatever system one is on.
SO versioning (api versioning
https://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual/html_node/Libtool-versioning.html#Libtool-versioning)
is probably not something you have to worry about since things are so
tightly coupled. But it is standard practice to use the package version
as part of the lib name, and adding the build number (git revision)
would be a natural way to unique the so if you wanted to support
side-by-side installs.
pcbnew-5.0.7-fa4bb30.so
You can see variations on this theme in action by looking at the dll
names installed next to the kicad binaries.
