It could be non-numeric as well and nothing would care, e.g, libc.so.foo.bar. Well, except for applications or tools that make assumptions about our library naming. I can't really see that being a problem since we always use links from libfoo.so to libfoo.so.version-string. -- DEReceived on Fri Nov 09 2007 - 20:08:37 UTC
