From Fedora Guidelines: "Packages containing pkgconfig(.pc) files must Requires: pkg-config (for usability)."
I think that's wise and we should follow that. Installed pkg-config is ~200kB on disk.
I don't see why they need to Require: pkg-config, they will work perfectly fine without it so at most Recommends: pkg-config.
When a -devel package provides a .pc file, developers expect that all other projects will detect and include their library with pkg-config file. Any attempt to compile against such package without pkg-config should be considered as incorrect. That is why I think that "Requires: pkg-config" is a good idea. -- Best Regards / S pozdravem, Stanislav Brabec software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o. e-mail: sbrabec@suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 966, +49 911 740538747 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
