Subject: Versioned Tree-sitter parser libraries
Date: Sun, 16 Apr 2023 15:20:51 +0100 (BST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <462cd248-1269-ac55-bf94-f137b2c51697@mavit.org.uk> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 709 bytes --]

A number of Tree-sitter parsers include a Makefile that will install, e.g., /usr/lib/libtree-sitter-json.so.0.0.  However, I notice that Emacs 29.0.90 will find it only if there exists a symlink /usr/lib/libtree-sitter-json.so.

Is this desirable?

The background to this question is that I’m thinking about packaging Tree-sitter parsers as RPMs for Fedora (https://pagure.io/tree-sitter-json/blob/rawhide/f/tree-sitter-json.spec).  Typical Fedora practice (https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#_devel_packages) is to assume that the unversioned symlink isn’t required for regular use, and to place it in a …-devel subpackage that wouldn’t usually be installed.
