It might reduce confusion to choose a random version number for the initial soname, to make it clear that it is independent of any hurd version number. You should have seen the discussion on the gmp list when gmp-4.0 was released. gmp-3.1.1 was installed as libgmp.so.3.1.1, and gmp-4.0 was installed as libgmp.so.3.2.0, and some users complained loudly "I installed gmp-4.0 and I only got a version 3.2 library! You must change it to install as libgmp.so.4.something!". And this after efforts had been made to ensure that version 4.0 was binary compatible... /Niels _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
