Indeed, this was removed in 2023 in version 0.9.4-4 and later
[ Chris Hofstaedtler ]
* [8c46661] Remove library development files and all of libdmmp.
There are no users of the multipath libraries outside of multipath(d)
itself. Recently qemu gained support for multipath reservations; when
qemu
wants to use this, the multipath-tools maintainers need to understand
the
ABI status.
Disable building libdmmp completely, as no users seem to exist at all.
Which as an argument makes sense.
There are soname 0 which are heavily used and there are others which you should
never touch.
I'm unsure if there have been discussions between multipath-tools and qemu
folks about this, but raising such seems to be the right away.
Better than:
a) not enabling it ever fearing but not knowing if it might be bad
b) just bringing back the lib and enabling it but not knowing if it might be bad
