In Adobe’s Penguin.SWF blog<\/a>, we can learn some details<\/a> about the upcoming version 10 of the Adobe flash player for Linux<\/a>:<\/p>\n

So if you get the RPM of the pre-release player, you’ll notice that it requires “libcurl.so.3<\/em>” which is the old SONAME for libcurl (libcurl 7.15.5 was the last release which used the number 3) which no up-to-date distribution should provide anymore. Since october 2006<\/a> we’ve shipped libcurl.so.4.<\/p>\n

Apparently, this made the Fedora people first implement a work-around for this that re-introduces the SONAME 3<\/a> from the same source the SONAME 4 is made from, only to a short while afterwards revert that decision<\/a>…<\/p>\n

An interesting side-note is how the Fedora people repeat over and over in those threads that libcurl with SONAME 3 and SONAME 4 use the same ABI, although that is not true (at least not by my definition of what an ABI is). The bump was not accidentally made.<\/p>\n
