We are currently at ABI version 5, stepping back to ABI version 2
could lead to trouble.
But you are right, starting fresh and with a soname that hasn't been
in use, any pick is fine.
Details about the original thought:
OpenOBEX uses a version-info of 5:1:4 now which translates to a soname
of 1.4.1.
(The scheme here is current : revision : age which is translated to a
soname of current-age . age . revision.)
The soname of .2.0 (ABI 2, age 0) tells to be compatible to e.g. the
soname of .1.1 (ABI 2, age 1, revisions ommited).
But that's just the theoretical side -- I can't even say if some
linker might choose librarys that liberal. Also there shouldn't be any
apps linked to ABI 2 around any more, right?
regards,
Christian
