It would be more like jquery-1.7.2 ships libjs-jquery56, i. e. there is no relation at all between the soname version and the library version. If jQuery 1.7.3, 1.7.4, 1.8, etc remain API- and behavior- compatible with 1.7.2, then jquery-1.7.3, jquery-1.7.4, etc would still provide libjs-jquery56. The idea is applications depend on soversions, not on library versions. It's important to be prepared for the case where a new version of a library is still compatible with the old version. -- Pau Garcia i Quiles http://www.elpauer.org (Due to my workload, I may need 10 days to answer) _______________________________________________ Pkg-javascript-devel mailing list Pkg-javascript-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-javascript-devel
