"Sworn" what? It's like that for a very, very long time. The .so symlink is an unversioned build-time file. Hence it's stored in the zlib-devel subpackage that is needed only when building/developing something based on zlib. And whereas it can make sense to dlopen that .so at runtime, code that does that would need to make sure it can handle any API/ABI of the library the symlink may point at. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected]
