Hi Sasha,
We've had a request [1] to package up liblockdep in Fedora. Looking things over, I noticed the library isn't actually versioned at all and instead just builds a plain .so file. That's likely fine during development of it, but if distros are to ship it for broader use then it would be a good idea to specify the soname and use a versioned .so.
The makefile already has LIBLOCKDEP_VERSION defined. Would it be possible to use this as the soname and version number? Then liblockdep.so could be the normal symlink to the versioned .so (liblockdep.so.0.0.1 in this case).
Thanks.
josh
