Hehe, yes I do. Let's not start arguing about usability, ... of static vs dynamic linking. I personally don't care about SOVERSION too, but I have decided to listen to users and package maintainers. If they asked about that, then it means to me they need it, they make use of it. So, it would no hurt SOCI to follow users needs here. > Having said that, I recognize that there is a place for different > opinions on this subject. > I also trust Mateusz as a package manager and I am sure that whatever > policy will be chosen for the project, it will be good.
