Hi,
looks like it is a good time to switch to pkgconf and replace ancient
pkg-config, right ?
Right, now would be the perfect time... We should definitely do it.
What are the benefits ? Barely none for luser :) In theory it should
have a positive impact on building packages, by building better
optimized chain of dependecies when linking i.e.
pkg-conf: $ldflags -lbar -lfoo pkgconf: $ldlags -lfoo
why only -lfoo, because pkgconf is smart enough and knows that -lfoo is
linked with -lbar already.
Also:
* more actively developed - it's been years since anything changed in
pkg-config
* exports its functionality as a library - easier to embed in something
else (cmake?)
* no dependency on yucky glib
