If there is only one ABI version of lensfun installed, this would work. If you want to make possible that liblensfunM can be installed locally parallely to liblensfunN, you need to put the database format version (not the ABI number) in the -data package. (Also note that the upcoming major Lensfun release will not be able to read older database versions. But this only makes the comparison expression a little bit longer.) > From what I see, changes in the data of a library (as long as > those data are accessed by the library and only by that) should > not matter to users of the library itself. This is correct. At least, if people read directly the library files, they are on their own. Tschö, Torsten. -- Torsten Bronger Jabber ID: torsten.bron...@jabber.rwth-aachen.de
