[Mageia-dev] Library policy query: What do we do when SONAME includes both major and minor? (Re: [changelog] [RPM] cauldron core/release kdelibs4-4.9.0-2.mga3)

[Colin Guthrie]

'Twas brillig, and Nicolas Lécureuil at 02/08/12 10:35 did gyre and gimble:
>> A minor change is supposed to only add interfaces and be backwards
>> compatible, that's why it is not in the soname.
>> If there has been an ABI breakage, the major should be incremented.
> 
> I think that we better should see with attica devs to ask a major increase.
