This is of course important for the 1.12/2.0 release. It is not yet clear how the post-1.12 development will be managed, but we anyways have to prepare for

Based on private discussions, it seems the consensus is that we should aim for long-term ABI stability. The first 1.12/2.0 release will define the libsofia-sip-ua.so.0 ABI and to the extent it will be possible, all future releases will be ABI compatible with this interface.

For versioning new releases, we'd use libtool version a'la:
http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual.html

So sofia-sip-1.12 would introduce libsofia-sip-ua.so.0.0.0 with interface version of 0 (LDFALGS+="-version-info 0:0:0).

When 1.12.1 adds a new interface (but is backwards ABI/API compatible), the interface version would be updated to 1:0:1, and the library filename
would be libsofia-sip-ua.so.0.1.0.

Votes for/against?

Of course, if we can't maintain ABI compatibility, then we need to change plans and release a new library version (.so.1), but let's aim for longterm ABI/API stability first and see if we can pull it off.

One open question is whether we should also support installation of multiple devel packages at the same time (to a single prefix). This would mean we'd have to...

This would mean no, we wouldn't need to support this.
