Description

This was based on #635 issues.

We need to set the version information (such as libtool's current:revision:age) for each library that has changed. At the minimum we should do these at least for each tarball release. We will not use the BIND 10 release or individual module versions for the library versions.

I will add more details to this ticket.

This ticket should not be closed until a wiki page also documents our policy on this.

Defect Severity set to N/A
Sub-Project set to DNS

We discussed this at our F2F. http://bind10.isc.org/wiki/August2011MeetingMinutes
I will put up a wiki page about the steps and update review checklist. Jelte and I will handle it before the next release.

See branch origin/trac686

Next part is to do: On backwards-compatible source code changes (but no API changes), increment revision.

I merged the first part of this to master. But didn't check for API/ABI changes since then (introduced in recent release).

nothing, as far as I know.

A few libraries have been done:

src/lib/asiolink/Makefile.am:libasiolink_la_LDFLAGS = -no-undefined -version-info 1:0:1
src/lib/datasrc/Makefile.am:sqlite3_ds_la_LDFLAGS += -no-undefined -version-info 1:0:0
src/lib/dns/Makefile.am:libdns___la_LDFLAGS = -no-undefined -version-info 1:0:1

But not updated in a while and no tool in place to automatically check these and other libraries.
