It means people won't be able to install both EO and the EFL… The filename eo.pc was already used since several years by EO, it's childish to just ignore that and take the same name. You should indeed use a pattern like efl/xx.pc or efl_xx.pc because if you intend to keep using two-letters names, you'll find a lot of them are already in use.
Someone was also anxious about eo.h names or such, I just checked, and libeo is also using: /usr/include/eo folder /usr/share/eo folder /usr/lib/libeo.a file /usr/lib/libeo.so file Which might also conflict with your EO thing (I did not check, just thought these files might conflict) > > -- > Tom.
