Hi, First: I tried adding a ticket to
Now, the real problem I've encountered with PoDoFo library is described here: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/50155 In short, no symlinks are created for major and minor numbers, forcing to rebuild other programs when the revision or the minor number changes. While some projects are not ABI compatible between minor number increment (which I don't know if it is the case for PoDoFo, since there is no stable major release yet), most of them are. Also, a revision/version number increment should only fix errors, not change the ABI. Thus, PoDoFo should at least create a symlink between the full number (libpodofo.so.major.minor.revision) and the minor number (libpodofo.so.major.minor). Probably, a symlink to the major number should also be created ( libpodofo.so.major). As it is done now, only the full version numbered library (libpodofo.so.major.minor.revision) and a generic symlink (no version, libpodofo.so) are created. Following CMake documentation, the SOVERSION variable should be changed when the ABI is broken (so it should be set to either major, or major.minor if the ABI still changes between minor number increment). The VERSION should be used to identify the full version string. I think the CMakeLists.txt should be modified as below.
