[FFmpeg-devel] 0.11 and avdevice soname

[Michael Niedermayer]

Hi everyone

I wanted to release 0.11 today but i run into a problem
namely the libavdevice soname

libavformats soname was bumped and its ABI changed a bit while
libavdevice was not changed

now if one has:
old_foo -> old_libavdevice -> old_libavformat
        -> old_libavformat

and installs

new_bar -> new_libavdevice -> new_libavformat
        -> new_libavformat

this would happen: (because both libavdevice have the same soname the
old is replaced)

old_foo -> new_libavdevice -> new_libavformat
        -> old_libavformat

In the best case old_foo will register the av devices and not see them
in the libavformat it uses.
In the worst this will just crash (that is if versioning isnt used)


because of above i will bump libavdevices soname really soon unless
someone sees a better solution

Thanks
