Create a libfoo1 package, have it include the necessary library files (and perhaps a -devel subpackage if you wish for things to compile against it) and update the base libfoo package to the new version. We do this all the time. Some packages utilize an older naming scheme involving a "compat-" prefix but that shouldn't be used these days. - J< _______________________________________________ packaging mailing list -- packaging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to packaging-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/packaging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
