I'm also wondering if you could give some color commentary on how often you plan on bumping the shared version library numbers? The reason why I ask is because there is a Debian package which depends on libf2fs and libf2fs-format, android-libf2fs-utils. It appears to be part of the Android SDK. I was about to send the Debian maintainer of android-libf2fs-utils package a ping asking him or her to relink against the latest so versions --- libf2fs.so.5 and libf2fs-format.so.4. But if the next release is going to involve a bump of the so versions again, I'll hold off requesting a rebuild of the package. And if the shared libraries are going to be regularly bumped due to incompatible ABI changes, should I recommend the andorid-f2fs-utils to statically link instead of link against the f2fs shared libraries? (I haven't bumped the e2fsprogs so versions in over a decade, but that's because I had carefully designed the interfaces to allow for backwards compatibility as we added new features to the file system. I didn't know if that was part of your plan for f2fs-tools) Thanks!! - Ted ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot
