Ok. I need to know what to do about this... is 1.1.2 with fixed sonames just around the corner? What should we do to fix sonames in Debian? I really don't want to upload a new timidity linked to liboggflac with broken sonames, and I really, really don't want to see libraries which will cause soname headaches make it to the next debian stable (speaking as an user of said libraries). Do we have a consensus that: 1. the C++ libs should increase sonames in SYNC with the C ones because some of the ABI is leaked through them. This means that at least libOggFLAC++ has a wrong soname in 1.1.1, and that it would be a good idea to do an initial sync of all sonames with the non-C++ libs to fix this for good. After the initial sync, increasing the C lib sonames means the C++ sonames have to be increased as well (and zeroing the C lib AGE means the C++ ones need to be zeroed as well). The C++ libs can increase soname/zero AGE without increasing the C lib ones in the case of C++ specific changes, of course. 2. the AGE of liboggflack should be zeroed in 1.1.1, and thus if 1.1.2 shows futher ABI changes, it will increase the soname (and keep AGE 0). That would mean sonames like this: 1.1.1 (released with broken sonames): libFLAC 6:1:0 libFLAC++ 4:1:0 libOggFLAC 2:1:1 LibOggFLAC++ 1:1:1 1.1.1a (fixed sonames): libFLAC 6:1:0 libFLAC++ 6:1:0 libOggFLAC 2:1:0 LibOggFLAC++ 2:1:0 1.1.2 (assuming *NO* ABI changes from 1.1.1): libFLAC 6:1:0 libFLAC++ 6:1:0 libOggFLAC 2:1:0 LibOggFLAC++ 2:1:0 1.1.2 (assuming there ARE forward-compatible ABI changes in the C libs, and optional also forward-compatible ABI changes to the C++ libs): libFLAC 7:1:1 libFLAC++ 7:1:1 libOggFLAC 3:1:1 LibOggFLAC++ 3:1:1 1.1.2 (assuming there ARE backward-incompatible ABI changes in the C libs): libFLAC 7:1:0 libFLAC++ 7:1:0 libOggFLAC 3:1:0 LibOggFLAC++ 3:1:0 Can we agree on the above soname plan, so that we can start fixing the Debian packages (other distros might want to follow this fix, as well...) ? -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
