Created attachment 9666 [details] [review] Patch Thanks, good catch! Fixed. I'm wondering what the rationale for this change is. The file doesn't appear to contain anything architecture specific, so $datadir/pkgconfig sounds correct to me. (Reopening for comments.) I've observed that GNOME packages like Nautilus and gnome-vfs also install their .pc files to $libdir/pkgconfig. Yes, but unlike shared-mime-info's, their *.pc files contain architecture specific things such as $libdir, Cflags etc. $libdir/pkgconfig is correct for them. It reverts the patch from bug 9789 I committed. What's the reasoning behind installing it in $(libdir)? It shouldn't be there if it doesn't contain any arch specific data, which it doesn't. 2007-02-02 Bastien Nocera <hadess@hadess.net> * Makefile.am: * shared-mime-info.pc.in: Patch from Ville Skyttä <ville.skytta@iki.fi> to move the shared-mime-info pkgconfig file to $(datadir), as it doesn't contain any arch-specific data (Closes: #9789) Unless you have a good reason for moving it, please revert this commit. OK, reverted. |
