This library is designed to allow parallel installation of different major
|
|
versions. To facilitate this, the shared library name, include directory, and
|
|
pkg-config file are suffixed with the major version number of the library.
|
|
|
|
For example, if this library was named "foo" and at version 1.x.y:
|
|
|
|
/usr/include/foo-1/foo/foo.h
|
|
/usr/lib/foo-1.so.1.x.y
|
|
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/foo-1.pc
|
|
|
|
Dependencies check for pkg-config name "foo-1" and will build
|
|
against a compatible version 1, regardless any other installed versions.
|
|
|
|
*** IMPORTANT GUIDELINES FOR PACKAGERS ***
|
|
|
|
Packages should follow the same conventions as above, i.e. include the major
|
|
version (and only the major version) in the name of the package. Continuing the
|
|
example above, the package(s) would be named foo-1 and foo-1-dev. This way,
|
|
if/when version 2 comes out, it may be installed at the same time as version 1
|
|
without breaking anything.
|
|
|
|
Please do not create packages of this library that do not follow these
|
|
guidelines, you will break things and cause unnecessary headaches. Please do
|
|
not use any number as a suffix other than the actual major version number of the
|
|
upstream source package.
|
|
|
|
Because program and documentation names are not versioned, these should be
|
|
included in separate packages which may replace previous versions, since
|
|
there is little use in having parallel installations of them. |
