<pre>This has been lingering a while, but I'd like to get this sorted out. :)
As I see it, there are three options:
1. Keep disk and runtime size small
This is the original approach, and what my earlier patch does. I.e.:
- Clients use libpulse and libpulsecommon
- Servers use libpulsecore and libpulsecommon
IOW, nothing the client needs in libpulsecore and nothing the server needs in
libpulse.
2. Keep disk size small, and less confusing structure
- Clients use libpulse
- Servers use libpulse and libpulsecore
Basically the same as 1, just that libpulsecommon is merged with libpulse.
Nothing will really change for clients, but servers will be forced to load a
slightly larger library.
(And only shipping the server still means shipping some client stuff)
3. Protect API
- Clients use libpulse
- Servers use libpulsecore
Here we duplicate code between libpulse and libpulsecore, but gain the ability
to lock down the exported symbols in libpulse so that no one abuses the API.
I can be prepared to implement this. We just need to decide on which one. :)
3 seemed to be the preferred from David at least?</pre>
