+# NOTE: geos uses -release for versioning lib/libgeos.la, and seems to
+# change the shlib name (not just the version, but the *name*) on
+# every release. If this continues, a recursive revbump is required
+# on every update.

+# This has been reported as a bug to the upstream mailinglist:
+# http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/geos-devel/2012-June/005860.html
