Subject: devel packages with only one .pc file
Date: Mon, 04 Sep 2006 15:11:26 +0200
I've recently got several bugs against package involving basically
splitting out only one pkg-config file into a -devel package, because
the packaging guidelines says so. I've done this for a couple of
packages, but its starting to get very ridicolous.
The one-file -devel package is totally useless
I would tend to agree, a single .pc file -devel pkg is a bit silly.
Perhaps the existing rule:
- MUST: Files used by pkgconfig (.pc files) must be in a -devel package.
probably ought to be amended.
