And hello again,
one painful change, that should probably be done before the first stable
release, is change of header inclusion practise in Sofia-SIP.
Currently all headers are installed to a single directory. The target
directory is nowadays versioned (/usr/include/sofia-sip-x.yy/), but it
still is one directory.
Now the problem is that applications have statements like:
#include <sdp.h>
#include <sip.h>
#include <msg.h>
#include <stun.h>
These are very, very common names and name clashes will be difficult to
avoid in the long run. And as these are in external apps, we cannot easily
get everybody to use clever ordering of CPPFLAGS to avoid clashes.
Now, have I missed something? I'd be glad to be proven wrong, if we
could avoid this transition... :)
Otherwise, what I propose is that, starting from next release (1.11.7, or
even already in 1.11.6), all headers would be installed to a common
subdirectory that defines the Sofia-SIP namespace in the system ->
prefix/include/sofia-sip-x.yy/sofia-sip/). All applications should use
include statements like:
#include <sofia-sip/sdp.h>
#include <sofia-sip/msg.h>
We can support old applications easily by adding the 'sofia-sip/' subdir
to our pkgconfig .pc file. But the new apps plus old library combination
will break. It is therefore important that the library is changed as soon
as possible, so applications have time to catch up.
Any objections (or better ideas)?
