[Log4cpp-devel] log4cpp 1.0 needs SONAME change for ABI change

[<fb...@fr...>]

Hi,

this is a forwarded bug report:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=445928

The 1.0 release of log4cpp removed the Category::Stream::operator<< method
that takes Category::Stream::Separator values and indeed the whole
Separator enum in favor of handling ends of lines differently.  This is a
change to the public ABI that breaks existing programs and libraries
linked with the log log4cpp and results in run-time load errors like:

/usr/lib/libsaml.so: undefined reference to
`log4cpp::CategoryStream::operator<<(log4cpp::CategoryStream::Separator)'

The SONAME of the library needs to be bumped and the package name
changed accordingly.  See also bugs #445778 and #445757.

cheers,

Fathi
