First, I’m 100% on board with this. But the last time I did a test build with pkg-config vs pkgconf there were some differences in the output. Have you done a world build with and without this change, and verified that the output is identical? Also, this should go to [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> so can you follow-up on there? Thanks, Ross
