That's wrong, as library versions represent API/ABI changes and the numbering has different *semantics* than package version numbering. [the libtool info file has a good introduction to ABI version numbering] IMO, there are two alternatives: * If upstream decide to manage ABI versions that's best. * Otherwise, you can number the library as <n>.0.0 and increment <n> for every new upstream release -- which means we assume each of them breaks ABI compatibility :-( (since currently, this library has only one client, it shouldn't be too painful). -- Oron Peled Voice: +972-4-8228492 o...@actcom.co.il http://users.actcom.co.il/~oron "I love deadlines, especially the whooshing sound they make as they go by." -- Douglas Adams -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
