Hi Maciej,

I just got a review of my NSPR build from a NSPR/NSS developer,
Wan-Teh Chang. One of the comments was to stop creating a symlink to
a shared library. By default, nspr creates bare *.so files. My build
script renamed them to *.so.$(MINOR_VERSION) and created symlinks from
*.so to *.so.$(MINOR_VERSION).
ls -l /opt/csw/lib/nspr/libnspr4.so*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 13 Nov 23 23:46
/opt/csw/lib/nspr/libnspr4.so -> libnspr4.so.8
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root bin 324344 Nov 23 23:02
/opt/csw/lib/nspr/libnspr4.so.8
Do we have any policy which requires creating symlinks? I'm afraid
that shipping bare unversioned libraries is going to create problems
during updates.
I don't think that we have an official "policy" on this as most
libraries
are well-behaved. One of the real troublemakers is libnet which was
packaged unversioned and has been resisted to be updated until now.
Best regards
