Hello,<br><br>from what I understand by reading that <a href="http://lists.boost.org/boost-build/2008/04/18704.php">thread</a> (title: &quot;<strong><a href="http://lists.boost.org/boost-build/2008/04/18704.php"><strong>Re: [Boost-build] Help deciphering gcc.jam, please</strong></a></strong>&quot;, in <a href="http://lists.boost.org/boost-build/2008/04/index.php">April 2004</a>) on the Boost Developer mailing list archive, Boost libraries have sonames for dynamic libraries on Unix, but those sonames do not follow (widely accepted) naming conventions. For instance, the version number is not part of the soname.<br>

<br>Would it be possible to have the option, with CMake build, to use a more conventional soname, so that Linux distribution packagers (Debianers and RPM-based packagers such as me, for instance) be happy (i.e., have less extra code to write)?<br>

<br>Best<br><br>Denis<br>
