Let us say I have packages libfoo++1 and libfoo++-dev which make standard files
/usr/lib/libfoo++.so.1.0.0
/usr/lib/libfoo++.so.1 -> libfoo++.so.1.0.0
and
/usr/lib/libfoo++.a
/usr/lib/libfoo++.la
/usr/lib/libfoo++.so --> libfoo++.so.1.0.0
/usr/include/foo++/
Now, in some other distributions, these files are called foopp instead
of foo++, and so to aid portability of client code, I put in the
additional following links.
/usr/lib/libfoopp.so.1 -> libfoo++.so.1
and
/usr/lib/libfoopp.a --> libfoo++.a
/usr/lib/libfoopp.la --> libfoo++.a
/usr/lib/libfoopp.so --> libfoo++.so
/usr/include/foopp --> foo++
I have a funny feeling that such links could break something, but I
cannot find a case where it actually does. Can any of you?
Cheers,

A. Because it breaks the logical sequence of discussion.
Q. Why is top posting bad?
