# Upstream distributes this library without a version in the soname. They'd

# like to keep it that way for compatibility with older UDFs (User-defined

# libraries, a type of plugin libraries for Firebird that add custom functions

# in SQL), which could not be recompiled by users (for example due to lost

# This causes no problems in Debian, because

# - the library API/ABI is backwards compatible with the one from pre-2.5
9
# versions (both server-wise and UDF-wise)
10
# - upstream also promises to keep the compatibility in the future
11
# - the library will get installed even without .shlibs integration, because

# any user wanting to use Firebird with his/her shiny UDF will install some

# firebird server package, and they all depend on libib-util
