Building yab1.xxx wil build a libyab.so.1.xxx
I will add a libyab .hpoackage that only packages libyab.so.1.xxx for those who do not have yab installed. seems like a lot of work for little gain.
requires {
lib:libyab.so >=1.7.5
}
versus
requires {
yab >=1.7.5
}
Doesn't save much disk space.
The yab package has the yab sources and the yab binary as well as libyab.so, but does not include the files for yab-IDE or the BuildFactory.
When this change was originally done, We, Jessicah and me, thought at the yab package would be used to insure libyab.so is installed on the system since libyab,so would be backward compatible with older versions on yab and this would mean one less required .hpkg file for the yab language.
When I understand it right.
For each yab version, we need a libyab.so.
So i think we doesn't save disk space. And you could not write
Require libyab.so >=1.7.5 , because if we have Major changes in yab, so that the yab Program you write needs a rebuild (eg. Windows open has change and so on), the Program didn't work correctly.
My Favorite is solution 2
you need only write in hpkg file
requires {
libyab.so
}
but the libyab.so must be available in HaikuDepot as standalone lib package.
