Description Vincent Untz 2009-04-29 23:54:54 UTC 
There's something weird with the way libgda 4.1.0 installs files:

 + some files are in /usr/share/libgda-4.0
 + the web-related files are in /usr/share/libgda-4.1 (see webdatadir in tools/Makefile.am)

It makes no sense to me to have both directories.
Comment 1 Vincent Untz 2009-04-30 00:01:30 UTC 
And generally speaking, it's not clear why some stuff is versioned 4.1 while some stuff is 4.0.

Also, if 4.1 is API and ABI compatible with 4.0, I think all the versioned stuff should still be versioned 4.0.
Comment 2 malerba 2009-04-30 08:02:54 UTC 
Ok, I'll make sure the directory names are still 4.0. However I plan to keep the name of the binaries (the SQL console mainly) as they are now (4.1.1 for example), like for Gnumeric, Gimp, ...

Well, I don't care much, but I think 4.0 makes sense because of the API/ABI guarantee (if you prefer 4.1, go ahead with it ;-))

Hrm. I don't have gnumeric or gimp binaries versioned by default.

I think it should be considered as a "what do I want to have parallel-installable. libgda3 and libgda4 for sure. But libgda 4.0 and libgda 4.1? Would people want this?
Comment 4 malerba 2009-07-05 13:44:22 UTC 
Right, I've now renamed all the programs and installation dirs to 4.0. This is fixed in git master branch.
