Ah. Turns out this isn't feasible. Of course if using just one spec file, all packages coming out of it will end up with the same version number.
So we can: - separate libdrizzle packaging completely. This is problematic because when installing the server you'd want to install the client too. Otoh if installing from a yum/apt repo it doesn't matter, it's just complexity for us when building and testing. - keep libdrizzle and drizzled together and make them use same version number. If there is a need to do libdrizzle releases more frequently than the server, it is possible to do a release that contains just libdrizzle. However, the next server release would then have to skip a build number. I have to think about it. I suppose at this point we should question whether we really need to do independent libdrizzle releases? If we continue releasing the server once a month, isn't that enough? Or is it a problem to release also the server more frequently if there's a need for a libdrizzle release? Seems like giving up on independent libdrizzle releases would solve many problems. (There could still be a tarball from where you can make libdrizzle without the server, just that the version numbers would be strictly coupled.) henrik On Wed, Feb 1, 2012 at 4:24 PM, Henrik Ingo <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Brian > > I was thinking about how to package the libdrizzle breakout > (lp:libdrizzle) for rpms and debs. > > It occured to me the simplest answer is to not do it at all.
