* > The following events cause major version numbers to be bumped * > * > (1) deleting a function * > (2) interface change (different argument order, etc.) * (3) change of functionality in a function (ie, when I add %b to * printf it will require a major number bump, since calling the * old printf with a %b will just blow it out of the water). Um, if the %b didn't exist in the old function, this should be a minor number change, no? Because code compiled with the old function (and these programs presumable won't use %b) can run with the new function, but not vice versa.... * > If nobody objects, then this will become the official policy. :) * * Please commit it as /usr/src/policy/library_versions Hey, I didn't propose to make a new directory under /usr/src. ;) We've gotta decide where to put these kind of things, though. Didn't we have a committers.faq or something like that? (What was the document that we let new cvs users read?) Satoshi
