Hi,

could you please add an SONAME to the libs?

Thanks!

Jochen

Non of the ROS packages currently defines SOVERSIONs for its libraries. And this is not likely to change in the near future.

There was some discussion on this topic on the buildsystem mailing list some time ago but without any consensus on how to go ahead with that. Since the SO version does not correlate with the package version it is not possible to generate them easily.

Actually if you want to do this properly, independently of your system it will take an human to compute this number IMHO. However, as a first approximation what about putting 0 as SOVERSION and setting VERSION to the project version?

Until there is a REP which describes the policy for library versions this won't be implemented. Please consider starting a discussion on the buildsystem mailing list (ros-sig-buildsystem@googlegroups.com) or even better propose a REP.

I will mark this ticket as wontfix for now but it can be reopened as soon as a clear definition has been found.
