libopensm version about opensm

[tamirronen]

soname (libopensm.so.9.1.0) and soversion (10:0:1) are two different numbers.
Although soname derived from soversion it can be a different number.
You can find additional information on this link: https://flameeyes.blog/2009/04/22/shared-object-version
Do you still see a problem here?

AGE - number of backward versions the API still supports

LIBVERSION=10:0:1
^
Does this tailing '1' means 'LIBVERSION=9:0:0' and 'IBVERSION=10:0:1' are compatible?

ping?

[tamirronen]

Yes.
Since the new version (10) only added new API, without breaking the old API, it supports the older version (9).
This is indicated by the AGE number set to one.
