[gentoo-dev] libfoo-0.0 incompatible with libfoo-1.0

[Paul]

Hi;

	libsndfile has a version 0.x and a version 1.x, and they
are incompatible. (ie. you cannot build against something
written against 0.x with the 1.x header file, and vice versa.) I
grep'd and found only one thing that currently uses libsndfile
(faac) and it needs 0.x . I want to include an ebuild that
requires 1.x .
	The shared libraries can co-exist, but the single header file
and static libraries currently do not.
	I am asking what policy should be in this case--
eg. if I tried to have stuff like a
/usr/include/libsndfile[01]/sndfile.h nothing would be aware of
that convention....

Thanks;
Paul
