Description
Greetings,
if there is only a patchlevel change, for instance between v3.1.0 and v3.1.1, that fixes a BUILD issue that causes either "no package" or "package built" - please DO NOT BUMP library versions. This causes needless churn in package repositories and is abusing the library versioning. There is nothing that warranted bumping from .so.29.0.0 to .so.29.1.0 between v3.1.0 and v3.1.1.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Read the 24-comment discussion first to understand the unresolved versioning concern and determine whether maintainers have defined a concrete change; completion would require an agreed policy or implementation for build-only patch releases.
