+Library Versioning
+------------------
+
+This library uses semantic versioning <http://semver.org/>.
+
+Several major versions can be installed in parallel.  The shared library name,
+include directory, and pkg-config file are suffixed with the major version
+number.  For example, a library named "foo" at version 1.x.y might install:
 
-The --prefix option (or the PREFIX environment variable) can be used to change
-the prefix which all files are installed under.  There are also several options
-allowing for more fine-tuned control, see the --help output for details.
+    /usr/include/foo-1/foo/foo.h
+    /usr/lib/foo-1.so.1.x.y
+    /usr/lib/pkgconfig/foo-1.pc
+
+Dependencies can check for the package "foo-1" with pkg-config.

-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.
