Just out of curiosity - has anyone ever tried educating upstream about
using a proper soname versioning scheme? I wonder how much longer we
will have to be tilting at this particular windmill...
I took a quick look with abi-compliance-checker, there are indeed
several binary incompatibilities between 2.82 and 2.83. It doesn't seem
like they're trying to maintain compatibility between their major
releases, so at least in this instance I think tying the soname to the
library version seems warranted.
It's certainly better than the case where the soname doesn't change and
everything breaks at runtime.
