Hi, 2011/3/21 Tom Lane <tgl@xxxxxxxxxx>: > So I started to package up mysql 5.5.10, and was surprised to read this > in the release notes: > > Incompatible Change: The shared library version of the client > library was increased to 18 to reflect ABI changes, and avoid > compatibility problems with the client library in MySQL > 5.1. Note that this is an incompatible change between 5.5.10 and > earlier 5.5 versions, so client programs that use the 5.5 client > library should be recompiled against the 5.5.10 client library. > > This is probably a good thing, but it's something they should have done > *before* declaring 5.5.x GA, methinks :-( > > Now I have no problem with pushing such a change into rawhide, but what > shall I do about Fedora 15? It doesn't seem very nice to force a soname > bump after alpha. On the other hand, the alternatives seem worse: > > * never upgrade F15 past mysql 5.5.9 Not very interesting solution :) > > * patch the releases to continue using the .16 version number > > * revert F15 to 5.1.x release series Please _don't_ do this. > > I don't much like any of these choices, but I don't have a time machine. > Any opinions about what to do? > > regards, tom lane > -- > devel mailing list > devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel > -- Best regards, Michal http://eventhorizon.pl/ -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
