So we can't speak in circles for a bit longer... what .so are you seeing
this happen with. Yes a changed so will break a build so if it is happening
then it needs to be looked and dealt with. A library may update itself but
not bump the .so
Sorry, I let this topic go for a while. It appears that the change in the
name of the .so didn't not require a rebuild for Qt Creator to continue
working, so I guess it's not a problem.
On another note, a bugzilla was just opened to request that Qt Creator be
updated inline with Qt 5 (
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1282668 ). I'm going to assume
that since it appears that everyone is ok with Qt 5 being updated in EPEL
that it's ok for Qt Creator to be updated as well.
Any objections?
