I know a month or so ago we voted to add a bit to the guidelines
reinforcing the necessity of -devel packages with .pc files requiring
pkgconfig. I went to file a bug about a core package that wasn't
doing this (which resulted in bustage of a package I was reviewing):
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=202280
It seems Matthias Clasen (mclasen@xxxxxxxxxx) wants to debate this and
I'm not sure what to do. I don't have any arguments other than
directory ownership and "that's what the committee decided".
The other reason is that .pc files are pretty much useless if pkgconfig
isn't there.
IMO, the policy/guideline is in place, and it's our (packaging comittee)
resposibility to lay the smack on anyone who refuses to play ball.
Now, if Matthias disagrees with the policy, it is certainly within his
right to raise the issue for more debate (which folks *should* do if
they disagree with the policies), but until policy is changed, he's
expected to follow that policy just like everyone else.
