-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. \ No newline at end of file
