Since the feature that patch was originally trying to address (bad pkg-config autoreqs) is not being used in those fedora releases, I think it would be good to get pkg-config back in line with the upstream behavior. As it stands, the patch is only serving to make the F9 and F10 pkg-config incompatible with other releases out in the wild. There's no gain from keeping that patch, IMO. -- Dan -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
