Currently the libraries are versioned like libgrass_shape.6.0.cvs.so
with links. It would be great if you could switch to a soname versioning
scheme a la libtool[1]. This would solve a problem with packaging
programs that depend on the grass libs. Right now, every new release of
grass will break the gdal-grass packages dependencies. The libgrass
version should change based on changes to its interface rather than
versions of grass.I looked into using libtool for grass and it looked like it was very
helpful to use automake to integrate it. So are there reasons grass
isn't using automake/libtool already?
The (non) usage of libtool has been discussed a few times in the
past, see for example:
http://grass.itc.it/pipermail/grass5/2002-April/005065.html
http://grass.itc.it/pipermail/grass5/2003-November/013059.html
If using libtool isn't palatable,
can we at least adopt the versioning scheme beginning at libgrass0.0.0?
Maybe yes. This should be discussed on the GRASS developers list (note
that the bug report communication is automatically forwarded to the list).
But: We'll have to find a person who is actually implementing that in
this case.
