Re: HEADS UP: -llber/-lldap sonames changes

[Darin Broady <dbroady1@yahoo.com>]

Kurt,

Is it possible to make the sonaming of liblber &
libldap more like traditional Unix libraries?

SONAME set to
    liblber.so.2.2
    libldap.so.2.2
for the 2.2 series of OpenLDAP.

Actual library filenames of
     liblber.so.2.2.x
     libldap.so.2.2.x
for the 2.2.x version of OpenLDAP.

If implemented in this way, then implementors & users
can symlink libldap.so.2.2 and liblber.so.2.2  to the
revision level that they want to use.  Of course, this
makes the assumption that binary compatibility will
not be broken between the revision level changes, but
only the minor & major level changes.

For OpenLDAP-2.3, then the SONAME would be
libldap.so.2.3 and the filenames could be
libldap.so.2.3.x
