Hi ;-) 11-check-pkgconfig-deps has some issues, that causes increasing package dependency bloat. let say we have packages X, Y, Z where Z is being checked by this script. Z : Requires Y that provides Y.pc Y: Requires X that provides X.pc when Z is checked, it complains that there is a missing Require on X which is not really correct,and will led packagers to add X as a dependency of Z and on.. and on.. and on... over the whole dependency tree..thing that will of course end in a unfixable mess as time passes, as dependencies are always added but never removed in this case,even when some intermediate package doesn't use a particular library or component anymore. The second issue, is that this script does not account Requires.private that should be taken in consideration _only_ when the package contains static libraries, the really bad news is that pkgconfig is utterly broken handling Requires.private and doesnt really do the right thing either :-( Fixing this issues will make this check a bit more useful, but will still let a lot of stuff to be fixed, including most pkgconfig scripts that are frequently broken as well :-| -- "If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed" -George Carlin (1937-2008) Cristian Rodríguez R.
