Here is another example: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=205054 The gtk-sharp2 package is atm divided into three subpackages: gtk-sharp2: runtime files (.dll, .so) gtk-sharp2-devel: 4 pkg-config files needed for developing against stuff in gtk-sharp2 gtk-sharp2-gapi Special developer tool used for generating bindings of other gtk-like libraries. Includes a .pc file for gapi (which is actually pretty empty, so its not really useable other than checking for existance in a configure file). The bug above proposes to further split out this .pc file into a separate subpackage. However, the gapi package itself will never be installed on a user system, and no developer needing it would ever not want the .pc files. So, what use is splitting out this .pc file? =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Alexander Larsson Red Hat, Inc alexl@xxxxxxxxxx alla@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx He's a witless neurotic astronaut who hides his scarred face behind a mask.
