libgdl 2.27.92 -> 2.28.x: soname bump

[Debarshi Ray]

I found that libgdl's soname was bumped between 2.27.92 and 2.28 from
2 to 3. This was probably done to reflect the addition of the new enum
value to GdlSwitcherStyle. But was this necessary? Did this addition
really affect the ABI?

I have the following symlinks and an Anjuta built against an older
libgdl-1.so.2 starts up properly with a newer libgdl-1.so.3?

[rishi@birch ~]$ ls -l /usr/lib/libgdl*
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root     17 2009-11-02 12:57 /usr/lib/libgdl-1.so
-> libgdl-1.so.3.0.0
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root     17 2009-11-05 15:45 /usr/lib/libgdl-1.so.2
-> libgdl-1.so.3.0.0
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root     17 2009-11-05 15:45
/usr/lib/libgdl-1.so.2.0.0 -> libgdl-1.so.3.0.0
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root     17 2009-11-02 12:57 /usr/lib/libgdl-1.so.3
-> libgdl-1.so.3.0.0
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 191732 2009-10-30 21:01 /usr/lib/libgdl-1.so.3.0.0
[rishi@birch ~]$

I might be wrong.

Thanks,
Debarshi

Hi!

Well, actually there was a bug about gdl don't having a soname and thus
I added one and I think I bumped it because of some API addition just to
be safe. But it's possible that anjuta doesn't use that API at all.

Regards,
Johannes
