So, out of paranoia, strict dependencies are required.
And the paranoia is absolutely justified. At times, but especially when people make the SOVERSION the same as the package version - and this is the case with nxlibs - they tend to change the API without changing the SONAME. And they don't want to change the SONAME because *surprise* that would break their oh-so-important-but-anyway-flawed scheme of SOVERSION=package version. One would have to look at all NX3 releases that had been made by upstream and look at whether they changed the ABI at any point. If so, you're already doomed and should use libXcomp-3.5.1.so, so that _all_ of the version is part of the SONAME. _______________________________________________ X2Go-Dev mailing list X2Go-Dev@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/x2go-dev
