this sounds like a very bad idea. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
pkgconfig files are common interfaces and should almost never be |
| 9 |
created/modified/renamed anywhere except upstream. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
debian packagers are already messing up pkgconfig files randomly |
| 12 |
see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=498416 (broke |
| 13 |
devilspie2) |
| 14 |
also happened for dev-cpp/tbb and a few packages I don't recall right now |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
The result is that pkgconfig files don't represent common interfaces |
| 17 |
anymore, cause application developers can't rely on them being |
| 18 |
integrated in different distros in the same way. |
| 19 |
Once this evolves further people will stop using them, cause it breaks |
| 20 |
build systems. |
