Description Alexander Skwar 2007-06-13 08:32:34 UTC
I just installed gedit 2.18.1 on a Gentoo Linux ~x86 system. I found, that files are installed in /usr/include/gedit-2.16. 

Shouldn't files be installed in /usr/include/gedit-2.18 instead, to mimic the version number of the application?

Other information:
I reported this to Gentoo as well. Please see bug report at https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=181873. They also have a patch for configure.in, available at https://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=121904&action=view
Comment 1 Alexander Skwar 2007-06-13 08:34:59 UTC
Whoops. The patch is against configure.ac, not against configure.in.

Sorry for the mistake.

2.16 is the API version, not the application version.

Updating it every time causes some issues, related to pkg-config: during the build you are looking for a "$package-$version" file, and every time you bump that version number you have to bump all the projects that depend on it. Additionnaly, this file has a version number in it.

So in short it should only be updated when there are incompatible changes in the API. It doesn't make sense to bump it the way you propose.
