[TBD: resolve per-dir vs top-level, perhaps by reading GNU coding standards] +SHARED LIBRARY VERSIONING + +[this section is at the moment just gdt's opinion] + +Quagga builds several shared libaries (lib/libzebra, ospfd/libospf, +ospfclient/libsopfapiclient). These may be used by external programs, +e.g. a new routing protocol that works with the zebra daemon, or +ospfapi clients. The libtool info pages (node Versioning) explain +when major and minor version numbers should be changed. These values +are set in Makefile.am near the definition of the library. If you +make a change that requires changing the shared library version, +please update Makefile.am. + +libospf exports far more than it should, and is needed by ospfapi +clients. Only bump libospf for changes to functions for which it is +reasonable for a user of ospfapi to call, and please err on the side +of not bumping. + +There is no support intended for installing part of zebra. The core +library libzebra and the included daemons should always be built and +installed together. + PATCH SUBMISSION * Send a clean diff against the head of CVS in unified diff format, eg by: |
