Just a heads up really but when building the spec file use the redhat defined macros 'n'
stuff such as %{_libdir} so it won't break on 64bit machines ;) I've had this already!

Subject: RPM packaging and library versioning.
I'm working on the RPM packaging of MySQL++ (for Fedora)
In the provided specfile we can see
...
mv $LIBDIR/*.so $LIBDIR/libmysqlpp.so.%{version}
...
ln -sf /usr/lib/libmysqlpp.so.%{version} /usr/lib/libmysqlpp.so
But this is not useful as the shared library is not build with -soname flag.
More, this should use the ABI version, not the source version as this is
used to detect ABI changes (which require a rebuild).
I think ABI version is 2.0.0, according to
http://tangentsoft.net/mysql++/doc/userman/html/breakages.html
I'm searching a way to enable this using bakefile but i don't really
find useful documentation on this.
Can you point me to some good sources ?
Of course, i could make a patch for Makefile.in, but i really think it's
not a good solution.
I also really think this should be take upstream, so i'd like to make a
patch proposal of my work.
Regards
