The intent was to be able to tell from e.g. dpkg -l ceph that this was the argonaut stable release, without having to figure out through some other channel that 0.48 is special. > > Ah-ha!

The only reason the debs are using the system libraries is because I'd need to backport the libs3 and libleveldb dependencies and include those in our repo along with the debs we build. > > This creates a short term issue for me in that leveldb and libs3 are > > not currently in Ubuntu main (MIR is raised but still pending review > > and approval) so not having the bundled source for these libraries is > > a pain as I can't easily use the same upstream tarball that you are > > using [...] > Is there any ETA when/if it will be in Ubuntu main?

My only concern is that it be an easy option for those trying to build on weird/old systems.

We've been adding methods to the library without bumping the SONAME, and then ensuring that users only use the new symbols if the version info in the header is sufficiently recent. This means you can't compile code against a new -dev package and expect it to work on an older library. My understanding is that this is completely okay, as long as the code compiled against the old library still works with the new library (i.e. symbols aren't removed and their functionality isn't changed).
