[postgis-devel] PostGIS 3.0 development begins

[Regina Obe]

I don't think we should follow that convention because postgis is an extension of postgresql and not a regular library.

 

So postgis-3 for pg10 would be different from postgis-3 for postgresql 11

 

Besides those rules aren't used under windows so we'd have to come up with a convention for windows if we went down that path.

 

That said – we had discussed truly following the postgresql extension model of not having a version number at all – just calling it postgis.so/dll/dylib whatever, but I think that was considered too drastic of a change since it would mean a postgis-2.5 (or whatever) couldn't coexist in the same PostgreSQL version/service as postgis-3 and since we may be changing on disc format etc, this would be an unpleasant hindrance for not much benefit.

Can we follow the soname thing?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soname 

 

It basically says lib should be named postgis.so.3.0.0 and the soname set to postgis.so.3, instead of postgis-3.so. And a set of symlinks that link to the highest version available.

 

This is basically how it is with every other library in the system:

 

$ ll /usr/lib/libqscintilla2_qt4.so*

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      28 сту  3  2018 /usr/lib/libqscintilla2_qt4.so.13 -> libqscintilla2_qt4.so.13.1.0

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      28 сту  3  2018 /usr/lib/libqscintilla2_qt4.so.13.1 -> libqscintilla2_qt4.so.13.1.0

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4869264 сту  3  2018 /usr/lib/libqscintilla2_qt4.so.13.1.0

Hey PostGIS Devs,

I've flipped trunk to 3.0 and created a 2.5 branch. 

Feel free to start posting new stuff to trunk, and make sure any fixes that
need to go to 2.5.0 are backported to the 2.5 branch.

Is everyone okay if I flip so our lib is just postgis-3  instead of
postgis-3.0

Or did we not settle that argument yet?

Thanks,
Regina
