I want to repeat my stance from the linked bug that making this a |
| 10 |
policy or calling on council to add more weight to existing devmanual |
| 11 |
bits is adding red tape that from my point of view decreases the |
| 12 |
quality of Gentoo. Asking me to remove the pkg-config file for lua-5.2 |
| 13 |
or removing the modifications to 5.1 will kill support for packages |
| 14 |
depending on these files existing. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
As long as there's stuff expecting the file to be around, I have a |
| 17 |
hard time committing a "fix" that will increase the breakage in the tree. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Let me be clear: once packagers of lua using apps tell me they no |
| 20 |
longer need the .pc file for their stuff to work, I'll remove it |
| 21 |
promptly or switch to the reduced version you get from calling "make |
| 22 |
pc" for lua-5.2. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
However, all the linked bugs and commits seem to address the point |
| 25 |
that debian *renames* the lua .pc files. You seam to take particular |
| 26 |
issue with slotting lua (which requires us to rename them as well). |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
I'm on the record saying that I don't like this solution. However, |
| 29 |
I've made it clear (and the eselect-lua module implements this) that |
| 30 |
there's always a lua.pc, liblua.so, etc of the user's chosing. It's |
| 31 |
also the only thing we got to resolve the stalemate of lua users |
| 32 |
lagging behind releases. If you have better ideas, please let me know. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Since this is a technical matter, please direct further discussion to |
| 35 |
the gentoo-dev ML. |
| 36 |

| 37 |
Cheers, Matti |
