That's not quite the same thing, and doesn't allow for things like "we know bug X was fixed at this patchlevel of the library, and we have no way of checking the library version at runtime" :o) Good point, though. Perhaps audit-libs should use this mechanism, including automatically adding a version to any new symbols that get added. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
