Hmm, I notice that gnutls is used as a shared library in many applications that it might be non-trivial to update if the .so version is bumped because it will require a lot of rebuilds. $ rpm -q gnutls --provides libgnutls-extra.so.13 libgnutls-extra.so.13(GNUTLS_1_2) libgnutls-openssl.so.13 libgnutls.so.13 libgnutls.so.13(GNUTLS_1_3) gnutls = 1.4.5-2.fc7 $ rpm -q --whatrequires libgnutls.so.13 gnutls-devel-1.4.5-2.fc7 bug-buddy-2.18.0-2.fc7 loudmouth-1.2.2-3.fc7 gnutls-1.4.5-2.fc7 wireshark-0.99.6-1.fc7 libsoup-2.2.100-1.fc7 evolution-webcal-2.10.0-1.fc7 gnutls-utils-1.4.5-2.fc7 libtranslate-0.99-9.fc6 mutt-1.5.14-4.fc7 wireshark-gnome-0.99.6-1.fc7 ntfsprogs-1.13.1-6.fc7 liferea-1.2.19-3.fc7 evolution-data-server-1.10.3.1-2.fc7 gtk-gnutella-0.96.4-1.fc7 seahorse-1.0.1-6.fc7 cups-libs-1.2.12-4.fc7 cups-1.2.12-4.fc7 vlc-0.8.6c-4.lvn7 evolution-2.10.3-4.fc7 I wonder what .so version gnutls will provide and if it is source-compatible with applications that have been compiled in the past with gnutls <= 1.4.5.
