Re: libsensors soname bump

Hi Laurent,

I see that you're the lm_sensors maintainer in Arch Linux. I understand
you recently upgraded lm_sensors to 3.5.0 in Arch, while keeping the
upstream soname change of libsensors to libsensors.so.5.

As the soname change was undue, we're currently considering reverting it
(see below, the whole thread should be available on spinics [1]). Would
that pose a major problem for you? Have the dependent packages in Arch
already been rebuilt?

Thanks!
