Well, only in one direction if I remember my versioning rules correctly. Consider the following cases: * binary built against unversioned libssl from other distro, running with versioned libssl on Debian Breaks because it can't find the symbols. * binary built against versioned libssl on Debian, running with unversioned libssl on other distro Works, because if it can't find a versioned symbol, it tries the unversioned symbol.
This can be fixed even more by keeping available one version of libssl with unversioned symbols, and versioning the symbols on all other versions. Then binaries from other distros will work as long as the unversioned-symbol version is available (and compatible, of course). -- Nathanael Nerode <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Make sure your vote will count. http://www.verifiedvoting.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
