Hello,
A recent thread on `guile-user' [0] raises an important concern: what
should we do with `guile-1.8.pc' when 2.x is out?
How about shipping `guile-1.8.pc' for compatibility, along with
`guile.pc' (which would then become the Right One), both with
"Version: 2.0"?
Thoughts?
Ludo'.

That sounds reasonable.

IMO, guile-1.8.pc is only provided by the guile-1.8 package. 1.8 and 2.0
are parallel-installable. Technically, we should be installing
guile-2.0.pc now.

I think this is a bad idea. Only Guile 1.8 should claim to be Guile 1.8.
Packages that can compile against either need to select their version in
their configure.ac. GStreamer-depending apps did this successfully in
their transitions (0.{6,8,10}).
See http://www106.pair.com/rhp/parallel.html.

Andy
