SDR (Software Defined Radio) » rtl-sdr

Hi,

It seems the binary packages for Debian and Debian-like distributions, such as Ubuntu, for librtlsdr are incorrect.

You are shipping a librtlsdr0 package for 2.x version, which has a SO version with a major of 2. The correct package should be librtlsdr2. Not shipping a .so.0 in a librtlsdr0 package means that all software that was built against it will now result in an unresolved linker dependency.

With that said, I would also recommend the SO version to not be tied to the project version, as that would require all existing packages to be rebuilt against the new library package, even if there weren't any ABI changes. I don't know if there were any ABI changes between .so.0 and .so.2, but if there weren't, I would recommend for rtl-sdr 2.x to still ship a SO with a 0 major version (in this case, also a .so.2 now, since version 2.x has already been released with that SO name).

Cheers,
Filipe Laíns
