https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=529921 shows why encoding system library paths like /usr/lib and /usr/lib64 in pkgconfig files is a very bad idea indeed.
Indeed.
I'd propose to add a brp script that checks for -L%{libdir} in .pc files and fails the package if found. That way maintainers of a package that comes with .pc files would be forced to fix their packages. I'd even volunteer to write said brp script.
These days we would do this as part of rpmlint I guess. But thanks for volunteering. Richard. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
