Two modules alone can be enough to require a shared lib in two versions, depends all on what you call a module, how large a module is and how the organizational situation looks like. For example, lets say the "shared lib" is the whole "Python" stack, and the two shared libs are "Python 2" and "Python 3" (which has become famous for not being really backwards compatible". In case you are managing a larger application with two huge "modules", one base on Python 2 and one on Python 3 ... | |

| Aug 9, 2021 at 9:37 | comment | added | TomatenSalat | Can you please put "larger system" into a quantifiable context? I mean it doesn't have to be very precise but are we talking about 20 modules or 100 modules? Also what do you think about the idea of just having just 2 versions of the shared library, the frozen one with which all modules have been tested and one that is updated? | |
