Package: metis Followup-For: Bug #961183 Hi Fred, I guess the simple reason why there's no pkgconfig for Metis is that upstream does not provide one.
We could add one ourselves easily enough. But SCOTCH-Metis compatibility would want to be taken into consideration. Historically SCOTCH-Metis never had full compatibility (#506033, #653647), but they're about to make a new release expected to address that.
