it includes:
- MUST: Files used by pkgconfig (.pc files) must be in a -devel
package.
I'd suggest amending this to say (something like)
- MUST: Files used by pkgconfig (.pc files) must be in a -devel
package, and the -devel package include 'Requires: pkgconfig'
We've got quite a few such packages, and lots of things will break
when FE switches to the minimal buildroot that no longer includes
pkgconfig.
I'm not so sure I agree with this. The -devel packages can be used
w/out pkgconfig and many are.
Most -devel packages with .pc files (that I'm aware of) can *not* be
used w/out pkgconfig.
Let me rephrase, apps that BR: -devel packages that support pkg-config
(most) often (need to) use pkg-config to detect the presense of the
-devel package.
In particular, every app that uses auto* tools, and uses the
PKG_CHECK_MODULES macro in ./configure. I can vouge that this includes
*every* kde application I know. Please don't force app packagers to
have to figure out if their ./configure script(s) use this macro or not,
I'd much rather things "just work".
