[maemo-developers] packages: soname (0c2a, etc)
When creating maemo packages, we will tend to take the debian or Ubuntu package and modify it for maemo. However, for C++ libraries, maybe the soname would not be appropriate. Is there a policy for this, or can someone suggest one? The soname is the package suffix, such as 0c2a seen here: http://packages.debian.org/unstable/libs/libsigc++-2.0-0c2a I believe that these suffixes are changed whenever either - A new version of g++, with a new C++ ABI, is used. or - A new version of libstdc++, with a new ABI, is used. I don't know what the 0, c, 2, or a parts of the suffix mean, or if suffix is just changed arbitrarily. I can't find an overview of these in the debian documentation. Maybe we could use the appropriate debian sonames, but we probably don't have the same combinations of C++ and libstdc++ ABIs so there might be no appropriate choice. I could remove the soname/suffix from the package name, which would involve a few more changes to the debian/ stuff than I'd like to make, so I thought I'd check first.

Bad idea :-) Those sonames are in debian to indicate that the abi has changed, and thus the packages depending on that lib needs to be recompiled. But there is no previous version of the package for maemo.

Makes less problems usually. But then the question is What is the original? The latest debian one, or the one with an ABI (combination of g++, glibc, and libstdc++) that's most similar to maemo's current ABI. Maybe if I could find a policy document for debian, we could create a policy for maemo.

Maybe the Nokia/Maemo people can tell us more. Maybe if I could find a policy document for debian, we could create a policy for maemo. http://www.debian.org/devel/ should contain all information needed.
