Re: Re: Building shared library for lzlib

[p . z . l]

. After looking at it I think that lzlib does not need the --soname mechanism; it

can simply create the shared library as liblz.so.1 instead of liblz.so.1.14.

While I don't have strong opinion on --soname, calling liblz.so.1 instead of liblz.so.1.15 is somewhat surprising and not well understood. Considering that virtually all libraries exactly that naming scheme, or notation, ( like in example: paste.ee/p/xXXxX ).    

It (the old scheme) is also useful information in case of testing different/multiple versions of library.
