Re: [xmlsec] versioning and library naming policies

[Aleksey Sanin]

Does not seem like it's a hard rule these days:

go:/usr/lib/ uname -a
SunOS go 5.8 Generic_108528-13 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-100
go:/usr/lib/ ls | grep "\-[.0-9]*.so" | wc -l
     94

to point out that there are already proposed solutions
to this problem.
One issue is that Unix vendors typically do not like
including the MAJOR version number in the library
name, for example,
     libFOO-MAJOR.so
Instead, Unix vendors typically want to have
     libFOO.so.MAJOR
as the library file name (which could be a symbolic
link to libFOO.so.MAJOR.MINOR or something like that)
and the library's SONAME, and
     libFOO.so
as a symbolic link pointing to the latest MAJOR
version.  This reflect the "multiple runtimes, one
SDK" design.  This issue might come up if a Unix
vendor would like to include your library in their
OS.
