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.
Forcing pkgconfig on other packages may not be the best case.
pkgconfig is small and pulls in no additional dependencies. I see no
downside.
