I should have been more specific -- I meant the revision number here, what we call the MICRO version. i.e. 1.6.1 vs 1.6.2. Across those two, I wouldn't necessarily (if perhaps at all -- see other msg) expect the library version numbers to change. For example, imagine the release was just a documentation update. > Regarding the binary: How about using similar conventions as for > emacs: guile symlinked to guile1.6.1 Do we want to support multiple installed MICRO revisions? i.e. do we want it to be possible to install guile 1.6.1 and guile 1.6.2 side by side? I was presuming we didn't specifically care about that, but if we do, we probably can, but the changes will be more substantial since we'll also have to start versioning the name of libguile, i.e. libguile-12.so so that the .so development and .la dynamic linking files won't clobber each other. For Debian at least I was packaging things for now so that you can only have one guile-X.Y-dev package installed at a time. To do anything different would require more upstream changes (including the above), and until/unless that happens, people should be able to get by by just switching out the -dev packages. -- Rob Browning rlb @defaultvalue.org, @linuxdevel.com, and @debian.org Previously @cs.utexas.edu _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
