Hi,
Hi Ondřej,
I have realized one quite serious problem in plugin loading with
recent SONAME bump.
The plugins are versioned, but the library ignores that and looks for
.so files in the plugins directory.
This basically prevents the gradual transitioning from one SONAME to
another, since at one point in time you have to replace the plugins
with one version or another.
I would propose to change the mechanism to look for:
.so.<SONAME>
How can libsasl library know expected <SONAME> information?
(There might be some backward compatible mechanism to go through .so,
but I don't think it would be necessary.)
Any other ideas how to solve it?
