How about to make a /usr/compat/lib directory in standard distribution
and change ldconfig stuff in /etc/rc to following?
if [ -x /sbin/ldconfig ]; then
_LDC=/usr/lib
if [ -d /usr/X11R6/lib ]; then _LDC="${_LDC} /usr/X11R6/lib" ; fi
if [ -d /usr/X386/lib ]; then _LDC="${_LDC} /usr/X386/lib" ; fi
if [ -d /usr/local/lib ]; then _LDC="${_LDC} /usr/local/lib" ; fi
if [ -d /usr/gnu/lib ]; then _LDC="${_LDC} /usr/gnu/lib" ; fi
if [ -d /usr/compat/lib ]; then _LDC="${_LDC} /usr/compat/lib" ; fi
echo 'setting ldconfig path:' ${_LDC}
ldconfig ${_LDC}
fi
And It is nice if compat2.0 stuff are stored in tar.gz file with
following manner.
usr/compat/lib/libgcc.so.261.0
usr/compat/lib/libcompat.so.2.0
etc...
Of course, there should be a notice to users like "If you want to
install a shared libraries which is used in prior releases, you must
place it in /usr/compat/lib directory".
Sorry for my English, and hope readers can understand this mail.
