So this looks like "liblogging" is the "base" and "liblogging-stdlog" or
"liblogging-journalemu" is a component/plugin. More plugins or new modules
may come.
But according to your comment, "liblogging" is not the base (=not required
for liblogging-{stdlog,journalemu}).
You also said that the RFC3195 componenet is now obsolete (e.g. shouldn't be
required by most users).
Changing the name of "liblogging" to "liblogging-rfc3195" (which seems to be
the right name from current view) is not an option, because it would break
existing old versions depending on the old name and it should be avoided to
patch old stable software. Right?
>From my understanding, the "plugin/module concept" is new. Wouldn't it be an
option to rename the new, not yet used library version to "liblogging2" so
we can start with the right naming from beginning (without breaking legacy
software)?
So we would end with something like
/usr/
|-- include
| |-- liblogging2
| |-- rfc3195.h
| |-- stdlog.h
| |-- journalemu.h
| |-- settings.h
| |-- srAPI.h
| |-- syslogmessage.h
|-- lib
| |-- liblogging2-rfc3195.so
| |-- liblogging2-stdlog.so
| |-- liblogging2-journalemu.so
| |-- pkgconfig
| |-- liblogging2.pc
and configure scripts would look for
"liblogging2{,-rfc3195,-stdlog,-journalemu}".
