Dealing with an upstream that doesn't maintain a stable ABI is indeed problematic. :-/ Your approach (static lib) would be one way to possibly mitigate that. Others: * engage your upstream about being more mindful about ABI and bumping library sonames when changes are introduced. It's possible this may be unintentional and a bug worth fixing (if they knew about it). -- Rex _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
