Well, I can not agree that this is a distro-only or OpenJDK-only problem. Noone will benefit if every distro starts to ship it's own pc file. We gain nothing from such approach. Take a look at e.g. http://git.gnome.org/browse/glib/tree/glib-2.0.pc.in - the right place for such file is OpenJDK even if it doesn't install it at all. Java land suffers from missing integration in so many places and so badly that it still feels like an alien on Linux and nothing will change if both upstream OpenJDK and Fedora maintainers step in and do the needed fixes because every party has do to its job. * we need OpenJDK upstream to define canonical pc.in file so we know how to query pkg-config * we need Fedora OpenJDK package maintainers to properly install a correct pc file for distro wide usage. If we have both people what is stopping us to not make one more step to make JVM integration suck less?
