The bug report you have linked reminds me of similar discussions we had when the mono packaging guidelines were being drafted. It was thought at that time that creating a -devel package for a single .pc file was preferable to dragging a bunch of -devel packages onto an end-user's box that just needs runtime support. You can point people at: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Mono#-devel_packages If people would like to get the Mono Guidelines changed to address issues like this, we're definitely open to having more sensible Guidelines. However, they'd have to address the underlying issues (in this case, that the pkgconfig files are dragging in other -devel packages). -Toshio
