Usually the SONAME only contains the major number. Under standard autotools, the scheme is as follows: libfoo.so.x.y.z -> the actual shared lib libfoo.so.x -> symlink to the shared lib, for run-time linkage libfoo.so-> symlink to the shared lib, for build-time linkage Unless you plan to use the y and z versioning, you might as well just have the x portion and just install the lib as libfoo.so.x: libfoo.so.x -> the actual shared lib libfoo.so -> symlink for build-time linkage. > >> - Is the sc-common-dev and sc-dev split really necessary? > > It has a purpose: sc-dev is the dev files for working with the > language API, which would be irrelevant for someone doing work with > the server (e.g. a plugin).

Both are very small and there are no (massive) extra dependencies so I think they can be folded into one package. Can the server-dev package be folded in too? -- Saludos, Felipe Sateler _______________________________________________ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
