Having mock use a login shell isn't the end of the world. The way to think about this is that's it's just as broken as library software which ships a binary named foo-config for libfoo2 and libfoo3; there is a conflict between /usr/bin/foo-config and so you can't have them both installed at the same time. > and that all packages should use > pkg-config? pkg-config is a good way to sanely manage development libraries, but it's not the one true way (i.e. we don't need to mandate it) - if some software wants to do something else that's fine, as long as they do it correctly =) A link to that page though in the guidelines would be a good idea so we can help upstreams understand how to be a good Linux citizen. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
