--- Comment #7 from Neal Gompa <ngompa13@xxxxxxxxx> ---
So the version scheme is not unknown to Fedora. The scheme is commonly used by
applications that try to enforce a consistent filename structure across
platforms. The style of versioned library is the same used on Windows and Mac
OS X. It's typically used in order to avoid libtool (which handles reformatting
the structure of the library name depending on the platform), as some people
seem to dislike it.

In Fedora, we have two important packages that actually use this format in
their libraries: libdb (Berkeley DB) and llvm-libs (LLVM).

The key is that both unversioned and versioned variants of the library name
exist (which they do), and that the unversioned one is in the devel subpackage
(which it is). RPM's dependency generators handle this case pretty well, so I
wouldn't be overly concerned about it.
