Also, given that boost seem to update fairy regularily, many (pretty huge) ports depend on it and there were no ABI breakages during last updates, I'd vote for only bumping soversion if it's known to break ABI (on major releases or post factum if the breakage is reported). This way the .so.5 scheme seems to be most suitable, as soversion does not correllate with boost version. If on some point we discover that every update needs soversion bump, we can always switch to .so.1.39 or whatever, anyway. -- Dmitry Marakasov . 55B5 0596 FF1E 8D84 5F56 9510 D35A 80DD F9D2 F77D amdmi3@amdmi3.ru ..: jabber: amdmi3@jabber.ru http://www.amdmi3.ru
