Description
When I use cmake, the files that are installed are
-- Install configuration: "RELEASE"
-- Installing: /usr/include/yaml.h
-- Installing: /usr/lib/libyaml.so
-- Installing: /usr/cmake/yamlConfig.cmake
-- Installing: /usr/cmake/yamlTargets.cmake
-- Installing: /usr/cmake/yamlTargets-release.cmake
-- Installing: /usr/cmake/yamlConfigVersion.cmake
The is no /usr/lib/pkgconfig/yaml-0.1.pc (or equivalent.
Also, /usr/lib/libyaml.so is a regular file. Normally we shoudl have
/usr/lib/libyaml-0.so.2.0.6
/usr/lib/libyaml-0.so.2
/usr/lib/libyaml.so
Where the first file is the regular file and the last two are symlinks.
The autotools build is OK, but bootstrap was not run before packaging.

Start with the CMake installation configuration and compare its output with the working autotools build described in the issue. Done means CMake installs an equivalent pkg-config file and preserves the versioned libyaml shared-library file and symlinks.
