No, the issue is that the library compiled with the fedora compiler in previous fedora release isn't ABI compatible with the library compiled with the fedora compiler in current release. This is not an issue as such, but the problem I see is that the user can only know that when there are runtime crashs or misbehaving if there was no soname change. With a soname change it is a bit better because there will be a typical error message right when starting the application. -- Pat -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
