Hello everyone,

I would like to start a discussion about moving unversioned *.so files back to unixODBC-devel package, as they are currently in the main package. The reason for this discussion is primary have things in order according to future rhel-9.

There will potentially be a change of moving 5 files {libodbc.so libodbcinst.so libodbcpsqlS.so libodbcmyS.so libtdsS.so} to devel package, so from the maintainers/users perspective, dependent packages will have to require also the devel package and should be rebuild as well. No other changes will be made.

There seemed to be no big reason for moving the libraries to the main package in the past, so I consider f34 as a good candidate for such a change. It would be great, if  you share your opinions and concerns for this topic.

Sharing also the official documentation [1], tracker in bugzilla [2] and upcoming changes in unixODBC package [3]

Thanks!

Ondrej
