How to use Common.Logging.Log4Net.Universal instead of Common.Logging.Log4Net208

I have a solution that I cannot update to Log4Net 2.0.12 because the Common.Logging.Log4Net208 has not been updated and the project seems pretty well dead.

While searching the nuget package, I saw Common.Logging.Log4Net.Universal

I added it (and removed the Common.Logging.Log4Net208) but there was a config section like-a-so:

<configSections>
    <sectionGroup name="common">
        <section name="logging" type="Common.Logging.ConfigurationSectionHandler, Common.Logging" />
    </sectionGroup>
    <section name="log4net" type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler, log4net" />        
</configSections>

...

<common>
    <logging>
        <factoryAdapter type="Common.Logging.Log4Net.Log4NetLoggerFactoryAdapter, Common.Logging.Log4Net208">
            <arg key="configType" value="FILE-WATCH" />
            <arg key="configFile" value="~/log4net.config" />
        </factoryAdapter>
    </logging>
</common>

I was not able to find any example as to how to set this up with Common.Logging.Log4Net.Universal as attempting with the same section produced an error while compiling as Log4NetLoggerFactoryAdapter was no longer found. And removing the complete section(s) caused error at runtime when logging.

Anyone has experience with Common.Logging.Log4Net.Universal?

Figured it out by going through examples:

<common>
    <logging>
        <factoryAdapter type="Common.Logging.Log4Net.Universal.Log4NetFactoryAdapter, Common.Logging.Log4Net.Universal">
            <arg key="configType" value="FILE-WATCH"/>
            <arg key="configFile" value="~/log4net.config" />
        </factoryAdapter>
    </logging>
</common>
