lemme rephrase ... you keep the ABI SONAME lib around until all packages are |
11 |
done with it; this does not affect any other package (including upgrades to |
12 |
the same package) as the ABI filename is unique in the filesystem |
13 |
|
14 |
it is not used at linktime because it does not provide a linkable file ... it |
15 |
merely provides the library used at runtime |
16 |
|
17 |
so you can upgrade on the fly as the old ABI lib does not conflict with |
18 |
anything |
