solution. I've searched a bit, and it seems that Mandrake and Debian both have a policy to include the library soname in the package name : http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/twiki/bin/view/Main/RpmHowToAdvanced#Library_policy
Unrelated, but I have to ask: what is the purpose of defining name/version/release like this:
%define name gtkmm %define version 1.2.4 %define release 1mdk
and then:
Name: %{name} Version: %{version} Release: %{release}
I've seen it in a number of spec files.
I don't see the point of defining name/version/release *twice*. ??
Also, this reply didn't really answer the original question, which was, how to release rpm's to provide multiple versions of the same shared library.
