Bug #14001: libruby soname is changing in Ruby 2.4.x while it should be always libruby.so.2.4.0

• Status: Rejected
• Assignee: -
• Target version: -
• ruby -v: ruby 2.4.2p198 (2017-09-14 revision 59899) [x86_64-linux]
• Backport: 2.3: UNKNOWN, 2.4: UNKNOWN

[vo.x (Vit Ondruch)]

Since the Ruby 2.4.x keeps ABI compatibility with Ruby 2.4.0 (I hope at least), the so name should keep the libruby.so.2.4.0 during the whole Ruby 2.4 lifetime. This always used to be true, while in Ruby 2.4, the soname is surprisingly changing (and it affects Fedora users 1).
