I know that pkg_add does warning about the dependency is old or new than
what it was built with.. I still think any binary installer have to check
the library version before install it. Current, pkg_add will install it
anyway and the user end up by find out that the binary don't work because
it can't find foo.so.N. Add a check will avoid pkg_add to install, because
it will not work anyway when it installs.
============================================
# pkg_add ./leafpad-0.8.2.tbz
pkg_add: warning: package 'leafpad-0.8.2' requires 'glib-2.7.4', but
'glib-2.7.5' is installed
# leafpad
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libgobject-2.0.so.701" not found,
required by "leafpad"
# ldconfig -r | grep glib-2
198:-lglib-2.0.0 => /usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0
============================================
We need something like this:
pkg_add: warning: package 'leafpad-0.8.2' requires 'glib-2.7.4', but
'glib-2.7.5' is installed
[...contiune install...]
pkg_add: error: package 'leafpad-0.8.2' requires 'glib-2.0.701', but
'glib-2.0.0' is installed and will not work with it.
[...no install, just stop the pkg_add process...]
Warning: it might work or not, contiune install.
Error: it will not work, no install.
Without a library version checker and allow install when it will not work
is a bug in pkg_add...so.... we do need to add a library version checker
feature in the pkg_add.
Before you agrue about libraries that shouldn't be bump when it is not
need. That's not bug in ports tree or pkg_add, which it's pilot error by
developers or/and maintainers that should know when to bump. Most of
libraries that maintain by freebsd-gnome already use USE_GNOME=ltverhack
that fix libtool15 bug and we usually add a hack if it is not need to be
bump. The gnome_upgrade.sh should be most like go away in the next GNOME
upgrade.
