           Summary: waf should version library SONAMEs
           Product: ns-3
           Version: pre-release
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: build system
        AssignedTo: gjcarneiro at gmail.com

Currently:

$ readelf -a build/libns3-core.so | grep SONAME
 0x000000000000000e (SONAME)             Library soname: [libns3-core.so]

It should be:

Library soname: [libns3-core.so.3.13]

or even

Library soname: [libns3-core.so.3.13.0]

so the .0 can be incremented in case of binary incompatibility.

However, when I talked to Fedora guys, one of them mentioned only first number
being significant/used. I don't know more about this and Google didn't help me
much; if that's true, we should probaby use ns-3 minor version as major version
(e.g. ns-3.13 should have libns3-core.so.13).
