Bug#758015: lintian: [new check] No SOVERSION in packages name, Policy 8.2
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.10.4
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer/DD/Mentors,
Based on Shared Librairies, Packaging Policy 8.2.
When the upstream source is not versionned (stable ABI),
the source package can be released without the SOVERSION.
In this case (source lib without version), lintian could
check if all the package are correctly unversionned and
raise a warning when it found a discordance.
Eg of an unversionned source package:
libfoo -> libfoo{-dev,-dbg,-headers} -> Ok (no version on all packages)
libfoo -> libfoo, libfoo1{-dev,-dbg,-headers} -> Wrong
libfoo -> libfoo1, libfoo{-dev,-dbg,-headers} -> Wrong
You can also read the following bugs #567510, #693911.
Thanks for your involvement in Debian.
Eric, Debian Med
