If I understand correctly, then when you install the new "development" micro version, it'll have a libguile with the same soname as the "trusted" version, and at that instant, all apps will switch to using the new "untrusted" lib because that's the one ldso will prefer version-wise (that's presuming the new libguile doesn't just clobber the old one if the micro version wasn't changed). If I'm right about that, then are there any other arguments in favor of not dropping the micro revision from things like the share directory name, or would you be OK with it? -- 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
