[...] The issue here is that to fix the loop, we'd need to eradicate the pkg-config dependency on everything that is below glib2. This includes at least libffi-devel, libselinux-devel, pcre-devel and zlib-devel. And libraries that might be below those.
This sounds annoying, as it's easy to re-introduce a build loop. On the other hand, I don't really see what else we can do.
Would it be possible to build a special, minimal bootstrap glib that is only used for building pkg-config? A trick like that is used by other packages too (krb5-mini, ghostscript-mini, etc ...).
Actually, we could do this with pkg-config, and that would be similar to the idea I had a few months ago: just keep the old pkg-config as pkg-config-mini, and use this one for libffi, zlib, etc. Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
