If upstream isn't building a shared library, then you have no good way to set a version and then maintain an ABI. If other software that links against the library is only expecting a static, they won't expect to have to deal with ABI changes either. No matter how you make a shared library, I'd suggest getting that change accepted upstream before trying to put it in Fedora. -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
