Feature changed by: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) Feature #306990, revision 3 Title: pkgconfig automatic provides / requires - openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed + openSUSE-11.2: Rejected by Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) + reject date: 2009-08-12 11:07:53 + reject reason: Too late for 11.1. Priority Requester: Important + openSUSE-11.3: Evaluation + Priority + Requester: Important Requested by: Andrew Jorgensen (ajorgensen) Description: Integrate macros for automatically determining RPM provides / requires based on pkgconfig for -devel packages. This would consequently automatically determine the dependency chains between -devel packages that use pkgconfig. It would also allow packagers to use the pkgconfig(pkg) string instead of the specific -devel package name.  This would make packaging easier both for cross-distro spec files and because when configure complains that a pkgconfig package is missing the packager can immediately add the BuildRequires rather than searching to determine which package contains that .pc file. Fedora and Mandriva both already have this feature. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306990
