I really do not want to use lib%{name}.so.0.fedora, thats just too ugly for words.
I don't care about the precise soname, as long as it isn't something upstream is likely to use in the future.
Upstream's intention is for this to be included with other sources, they do not even offer a Makefile to build a .a, so the chances of there ever coming an official .so are small.
They may change their mind.
Also most likely I'll change the soname to lib%{name}-%{version}.so with the first new upstream version, as I expect them to not care about ABI's and hapily break it each release (its really easy to cause ABI breakage with c++). But I'm using lib%{name}.so.0 for now in the hope that they will pleasantly surprise me.
Using the lib%{name}-%{version}.so scheme would seem better to me since hopefully upstream won't do that.
In my opinion it is better to anticipate rather than deal with later complexity.
