By using the expression band-aid I wasn't commenting on the virtues of having the include file in /usr/include. The expression "rip off the band-aid" is an idiom in english which refers to minimizing the duration of unpleasantness by making a change quickly and with determination. > If we're to put them in a directory, I'd rather require > 'more complete' includes, like: > > #include <openrc/rc.h> Consider installs into non-/usr prefixes. It's true that this may not be so much of a concern since openrc is mostly Gentoo-specific though. > Otherwise, you're just fighting conflicts in the scope of a single > application. There are two benefits of mandating use of pkg-config; one is that openrc will just work<tm> on odd platforms such as OS X package managers where the install prefix isn't included in the platform compiler's include search path, the other is that the API can be versioned trivially, allowing different versions to be installed at the same time. //Peter
