https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1069243 --- Comment #15 from David Sugar <dyfet@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- And my equally blunt response is that it may never get used in Fedora for that very reason, as people will most likely use the supplied and rather functional pkg-config and ccaudio2.pc file instead, so it will never "hit" anyone anyway. However, to comply with historical gnu policies, we do provide the script in the package so that one does have the means to configure dependent applications without having a gnu package that "requires" use of a non-core "binary" program like pkg-config (remember that only "core" utilities like a shell, sed, m4, make, and a c/c+ compiler are supposed to be required to build a gnu package), people can really use the script if they so choose, it works for now, and everyone is happy. Given that there has been a ccaudio in gnu since 1999, it naturally retains a lot of the original gnu policies, but these never limited us from also including other options, so long as the original requirements & policies could also be met. For rather similar reasons I include both automake/configure and cmake files to build most of my gnu packages. In my non-gnu packages I usually only use cmake and pkg-config, as the cmake stuff is easier to maintain, and the config-xxxx scripts of course also do not test or validate library versions either. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
