I read that as saying that if one really wants to introduce versioned symbols to a library, incrementing the shared library version is required, and that only to avoid a warning printed by glibc's rtld. I think that is unfortunate, and it will lead to less libraries switching to symbol versioning. /Simon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
