2025-03-10dev-cpp/pystring: force rebuild and bump subslot for broken 1.1.4 releaseEli Schwartz
``` * CMP: =dev-cpp/pystring-1.1.3-r1 with dev-cpp/pystring-1.1.4/image * FILES:-usr/lib64/libpystring.so.0.0 * FILES:+usr/lib64/libpystring.so (-rwxr-xr-x root:root) * SONAME:-libpystring.so.0.0(64) * SONAME:+libpystring.so(64) ``` This breaks binpackage usage. preserved-libs sort of saves you, maybe, if you built locally. Reverse dependencies are linked to .so.0.0, but the new package only contains .so -- technically, if the reverse were true, linked binaries would still work if you squint, but in the current state this simply does not work at all. The background here is weird. Upstream has a Makefile, which calls the system libtool (broken!) and produces a soname of .so.0 in the event that it succeeds at producing a library. We patched in an unofficial cmake build (???) that set the soname to .so.0.0 instead, which isn't very libtool of them but whatever. Upstream didn't actually accept that, they wrote their own which is "simpler" and set the soname to .so. Now we have 3 different sonames in use, but one of them was only in use in *Gentoo* for a couple of days, unstable, back in 2021. As standard, we solve changing sonames by bumping subslot to force a rebuild. Straight to stable it goes, with a revbump since people already have it installed and now have broken binaries.
