lua *has* a pkg-config file already, it just exists as documentation in the Makefile apparently. And pkg-config is not and has never been about agreeing on "formats". It's about agreeing on a query language to find out which format any given system is using. There is nothing requiring any distro to do anything other than build the pkg-config file according to their Make arguments and install the thing... This is not hard, most software can do it properly without fuss. I fail to see why it would represent a political process for lua specifically. Can you point me to a bug report or pull request or mailing list discussion or other form of discussion in the lua community where the topic of pkg-config has been previously discussed and rejected as too political? Because that's a startling claim. -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User
