So I guess that is yet another advantage of pkgconfig which allows to do stuff like this : PKG_CHECK_MODULES([MYSTUFF], [gtk+-2.0 >= 1.3.5 libxml = 1.8.4]) Though even if we made a pkgconfig file for libarchive and it was accepted, it would only be available in the new version and not in all older ones. But maybe that is not a problem, people should probably just use the latest release of libarchive. _______________________________________________ pacman-dev mailing list [email protected] http://archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/pacman-dev
