I just looked at the librar namig and it seems that we are doing right thing already:...
[EMAIL PROTECTED] lib]$ ls *xmlsec*.so*
Why do you think it needs to be changed?
Hi,
Please take a look at my original message once more. It's not just about shared libraries, but static libraries also. I explained the rationale for putting the version in the main part of the library name (e.g., xmlsec-0.1 instead of just xmlsec) for both cases. This scheme is followed by many libraries. To get a rough idea, simply try:
ls /usr/lib/lib*[0-9].so
or
ls /usr/lib/lib*[0-9].a
Another point I'll add is that "development" and "snapshot" versions of software appear in Debian all the time. The fact is that many Linux developers use Debian for their cutting-edge work and want all tools and libraries to be nicely packaged. For things to go smoothly, development versions need to coexist properly with stable versions. Having soname or library file name conflicts, even temporarily, throws a wrench in this.
Regards, -John
