semantic versioning regression: `0.1.8` followed by `0.1.0`

[umlaeute]

Debian/buster (currently "stable") ships with libsamplerate0_0.1.9-2, which includes a dynamic library file:

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsamplerate.so.0.1.8

compiling the latest and greatest libsamplerate-0.2.0 i get a file:

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsamplerate.so.0.1.0

This decrements the micro release, which is plain wrong!!

the new libsamplerate also introduces a new symbol src_clone, which would - according to semantic versioning - warrants a:

• reset of the micro version to 0
• increment of the minor version to 2

please fix this and make a bugfix release asap.

i guess the proper way to calculate the SHARED_VERSION_INFO from the package version (assuming that the package version follows the semantic versioning for the library) is:

CLEAN_VERSION=$(echo $PACKAGE_VERSION | $SED "s/p.*//")
VERSION_MAJOR=$(echo $CLEAN_VERSION   | $SED "s/\..*//")
VERSION_MINOR=$(echo $CLEAN_VERSION   | $SED "s/.*\.\(.*\)\..*/\1/")
VERSION_BUGFIX=$(echo $CLEAN_VERSION  | $SED "s/.*\.//")

SHARED_VERSION_INFO="$((VERSION_MAJOR+VERSION_MINOR)):${VERSION_BUGFIX}:${VERSION_MINOR}"

or (using cut rather than sed):

CLEAN_VERSION=$(echo $PACKAGE_VERSION | $SED "s/p.*//")
VERSION_MAJOR=$(echo $CLEAN_VERSION   | cut -f1 -d.)
VERSION_MINOR=$(echo $CLEAN_VERSION   | cut -f2 -d.)
VERSION_BUGFIX=$(echo $CLEAN_VERSION  | cut -f3 -d.)

SHARED_VERSION_INFO="$((VERSION_MAJOR+VERSION_MINOR)):${VERSION_BUGFIX}:${VERSION_MINOR}"

@SoapGentoo , we failed a little.

[evpobr]

@umlaeute , yep we have a bug. Is minor release fixing this ok?

[evpobr]

@umlaeute , CMake works.

[SoapGentoo]

@evpobr we should just switch to manually maintaining the libtool versioning. I will prepare a PR.

[evpobr]

I absolutely agree with you.

[umlaeute]

@evpobr a minor release would be splendid.

i haven't tested CMake, as the README says to use configure (and mentions CMake only as the new alternative)

since Debian is currently nearing freeze (the first stage already started), it would be great if you could put out a bugfix release very soon.

We should get out a release today, I'm working on it
