Hi Thomas,

I am sorry I did not expressed my view on ACE download plan. I am
still wating to have at least a little free time to do this as well as
to prepare necessary changes.

If about 10-fix-prj-install patch it does not deal with library
version, but with a search path for binaries. If you plan to change
library versioning scheme you probably need to change $file variable
value to follow new convention (lines 131, 145).

I did read a discussion on ace-users about new numbering, but I
hesitate if we are not going to violate any (undescribed) debian
policy on this.
After "ls -l /usr/bin" one may see a plenty of various numbering ideas eg.
 - libgnome-2.so, libgnome-2.so.0, libgnome-2.so.0.3000.0
 - libgnutls-extra.so, libgnutls-extra.so.13, libgnutls-extra.so.13.9.1
 - libwx_baseu-2.6.so.0, libwx_baseu-2.6.so.0.3.1
 - liblavfile-1.8.so.0, liblavfile-1.8.so.0.0.0
but there is nothing similiar to libWhatever-x.y.z.so.
I understand that "prefix" convention is to discriminate between
versions with incompatible ABI, while "postfix" ensures such
compatibility. But can we provide a guarantee that for example ACE
5.6.3 is backward compatible with 5.6.2 ? If not, we should rather
employ  libWhatever-x.y.z.so.0, libWhatever-x.y.z.so.0.0 scheme, even
if it looks quite weird..

Marek
