Why should version upgrades need convincing?

I said *think* i.e. it is a judgement call based on my past experience. After all that is why sonames were created so that if there are any incompatibilities the developer could increment the soname without causing problems. Please don't argue for the sake of arguing. I am not suggesting some major change to the book, just a simple version upgrade. -- Tushar Teredesai mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~tushar/ -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
