Am I getting the warning below because there is a period in the lib name? mygui-devel.i686: E: invalid-soname /usr/lib/libMyGUI.OgrePlatform.so
If so, is it really an error?

As no reply is listed in this thread:
rpmlint verbose info would say: '''The soname of the library is neither of the form lib<libname>.so.<major> or lib<libname>-<major>.so.''',
The period really isn't the problem, the missing version number is. Often it's an error because it bears a higher risk of causing breakage.
Btw, "mygui" in Fedora 14 is mispackaged related to this. This lib has been moved into a private directory %_libdir/MYGUI/ where it is placed outside run-time linker's search path. The lib isn't found by the -tools and -demos, which are linked with it. Additionally, some of the packages suffer from unowned directories.

Thanks. I filed a bug about this. I'll look at getting things fixed for this, probably in an F16 time frame, as it will be past beta by the time I get a chance to look at it in depth and I don't want to break other packages.

No other packages depend on it:
$ repoquery --alldeps --whatrequires mygui mygui-0:3.0.1-5.fc15.i686 mygui-0:3.0.1-5.fc15.x86_64 mygui-demos-0:3.0.1-5.fc15.x86_64 mygui-devel-0:3.0.1-5.fc15.i686 mygui-devel-0:3.0.1-5.fc15.x86_64 mygui-tools-0:3.0.1-5.fc15.x86_64
Actually, to have the run-time linker find libMyGUI.OgrePlatform.so in %_libdir/MYGUI/, the package adds a file in /etc/ld.so.conf/. Rather pointless, because then it could be stored directly in %_libdir instead.
Currently, the reinstalled -demos and -tools seem to work, too, so the problems with unowned dirs are minor.
On F-15, libMyGUI.OgrePlatform.so is duplicated, as it is included also in mygui-devel ... directly in %_libdir. ;)

Sorry for not having noticed this thread until Bruno filed the ticket; MyGui is a multiplatform library that supports binary plugins, and the binary wrapper to the underlying 3d framework is implemented as a plugin as well (Ogre in this case); because of this i decided to create a private directory for MyGui plugins, while the main library libMyGUIEngine.so is under /usr/lib. Unfortunately there were no plugins available for the linux platform, or without legal issues, at the moment of packaging it. The plan was to have this libMyGUI.OgrePlatform.so in a separate subpackage, as well as other plugins while they were coming out.

That's unexpected to me, i'm still using F-14; Bruno is it a result of your recent work on updating from upstream?

It is certainly possible that I made a mistake when trying to do the update for F15.

So, it is planned to really hide this library (and its RPM dependenceis) in a future release?
While the directory may be private (and outside run-time linker's search path), this is not true anymore after extending ld.so.conf. Plus, the library within that directory is treated like a public library instead of a private plugin (backend/module). On F-14:
$ repoquery --whatrequires libMyGUI.OgrePlatform.so mygui-demos-0:3.0.0-0.4.2332svn.fc13.i686 mygui-tools-0:3.0.0-0.4.2332svn.fc13.i686
$ repoquery --whatprovides libMyGUI.OgrePlatform.so mygui-0:3.0.0-0.4.2332svn.fc13.i686
Currently, as it seems, the tools and demos in %_libdir/MYGUI/ subdirs for Tools and Demos are linked with it and create a direct dependency on _any_ libMyGUI.OgrePlatform.so found in ld.so's search path. I find this practice sort of questionable, since the library file name is unusual enough as to create a conflict in %_libdir and justify an own dir.

That's definitely true; as i said i tried to sort out things ahead of time, and adding the ld.so.conf entry was the workaround, because unexpectedly the tools and demos were linked directly to the wrapper library.
I regret if it is not acceptable; i will update the package moving the library in _libdir (well just removing it from the old subdir as you found out its a duplicate now), and renaming it with major version, asap.
Thanks for the hints
