* I am once again porting the new version of Mesa to FreeBSD. * Now I have a question, in the previous version I have used for version * numbers of the shared libraries the pre-previous + 1 rule. There is a reason behind the library versions increasing, and why they can never decrease between releases. Please see the handbook (28.3 or something). * But I think it makes little sense in using something in FreeBSD like * ....so.14.0 where the other systems use .so.2.1 for the same version. It's not like we can share libraries and binaries with other systems anyway. :) Just because other systems are being sloppy with shared library numbering doesn't mean we should do the same. * What do you recomend, using the release number for these or ignore it and * add a symlink like "ln -s ***.so.2.1 ***.so.14.0"? That won't do any good. :( Satoshi
