I have another question creeping up my spine: How is the library
versioning to be done? As far as I have understood the libtool manual,
it offers two options: Either to set a '-version-info', or to use
'-release'. It seems to me that -version-info is more flexible, but I
don't quite understand how this works together with the
shlib-symlinking.
This is done by '-release' if I understood correctly, but libtool
manual states that you can't use both flags together. I then took a
look into the libsigc++ package, and there they *are* used together
(libsigc++ is out of date BTW: upstream is 1.0.0, debian is 0.8.6).
I am slightly confused about this... Any hints?
Thanks, Andy
