Description vowstar 2022-12-16 14:59:37 UTC 
I tried to compile the media-libs/tiff-compat-4.4.0-r1:4 package and get 
   /usr/lib/libtiffxx.so.5.8.0
   /usr/lib/libtiff.so.5.8.0
   /usr/lib64/libtiffxx.so.5.8.0
   /usr/lib64/libtiff.so.5.8.0


But the description of this package is:
"Tag Image File Format (TIFF) library (compat package for libtiff.so.4)"


Currently compiled results and descriptions contradict each other. I guess that slot 4 may correspond to the suffix of the previous so library, which is convenient for distinguishing the package media-libs/tiff.

So I compiled these three packages and got the following library:

tiff-4.4.0:0
   /usr/lib/libtiffxx.so.5.8.0
   /usr/lib/libtiff.so.5.8.0
   /usr/lib64/libtiffxx.so.5.8.0
   /usr/lib64/libtiff.so.5.8.0
tiff-compat-4.4.0:4
   /usr/lib/libtiffxx.so.5.8.0
   /usr/lib/libtiff.so.5.8.0
   /usr/lib64/libtiffxx.so.5.8.0
   /usr/lib64/libtiff.so.5.8.0
tiff-4.5.0:0
   /usr/lib/libtiffxx.so.6.0.0
   /usr/lib/libtiff.so.6.0.0
   /usr/lib64/libtiffxx.so.6.0.0
   /usr/lib64/libtiff.so.6.0.0

I found that tiff-compat-4.4.0:4 will get the same so library suffix as tiff-4.4.0:0, and the so library suffixes of tiff-4.4.0:0 and tiff-4.5.0:0 are different, this Are there special considerations?
