But it requires patches to libev that aren't upstream in order to build? One alternative would be to package the libev headers twice, one in the upstream location and once in the Fedora-specific location. The latter package could then include the pkgconfig file. This is still a bad solution. If libverto needs to link against both then libverto upstream should really work with libev and libevent upstream to find a solution that'll work for all distributions, rather than being limited to Fedora hacks. -- Matthew Garrett | mj...@srcf.ucam.org -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
