Thinking about the issue of parallel installs of GTK+-1.2 and GLib-1.2
today, it seems to me:
- We need to definitely support parallel user installs
for average users, and supporting parallel devel
installs for average developers would be nice too.
- Using a separate prefix is not the right solution
for the user installs and is not a great solution
for developer installs.
While a person installing GTK+ from scratch can
use a different prefix for different versions, this
is not an attractive solution for people making
packages for distributions, especially when they
are trying to remain FHS compliant.
Also, using different prefixs means juggling $PATH
to get the correct compilation
So, I propose the great move:
/usr/include/glib.h => /usr/include/glib2/glib.h
/usr/lib/glib/include => /usr/lib/glib2/include
/usr/lib/glib/libglib.so => /usr/lib/glib/libglib-{1-3,2-0}.so
glib-config => glib2-config
/etc/gtk => /etc/gtk2
/usr/share/local/*/*/gtk+.mo => /usr/share/local/*/*/gtk2.mo
/usr/share/themes/*/gtk/ => /usr/share/themes/*/gtk2/
/usr/include/gtk => /usr/include/gtk2/gtk
/usr/include/gdk => /usr/include/gtk2/gdk
gtk-config => gtk2-config
And anything else that can conflict. Basically, you should be able to
install both runtime and devel packages at once without a single
conflict.

Owen
