I still don't see how this is possible with binary packages. If
there is an API/ABI change in libemacs (yes I am being facecious
here) and both are "stowed" to /lib you can't execute both versions
anyway. Or am I still missing something?
/lib/libemacs.so.1.0
/lib/libemacs.so.1.1
...
/lib/libemacs.so.2.0
...
Libraries also have version numbers to which you link too.
Alfred,
Aye but this is one example. Not to mention that many "packages" symlink
libemacs.so to the current version. Aside from that what about
configuration files, say /etc/emacs.conf (again just an example). Are you
going to make a version specific file for everything? Or is the assumption
that these types of files don't change enough across versions?
Maybe this is all just too much for my tiny brain.. :-)
Thanks,
