I also downloaded Fedora 42 and it seems to provide both serf.pc and serf-1.pc (the former a symlink to the latter). >From the spec[1] file in F42, it seems to use CMake to build Serf. It also seems like Joe Orton patched the spec file in December -24 to actually create the symlink. Unfortunately I couldn't figure out how to find the spec file for Rocky Linux 9 but I assume they use a previous version of the file found in F42. Since Serf 1.3 didn't contain CMake support, I assume Fedora took the CMakeList.txt file from trunk[2] and it actually doesn't install the PC file with a version number. This changed in r1925911 (authored by brane). So in summary: - Serf used to only provide serf.pc (in an unreleased CMakeList.txt file) - Fedora, and subsequently RHEL/Rocky, took CMakeList.txt from trunk and used it for building - Joe spotted the error in time for F42 and made sure it provided serf-1.pc as well - Brane has made sure future Serf releases will provide serf-1.pc. So the patch is probably correct, but only for RHEL9 and it should not be necessary for future releases.
