I agree. > i have a two line shellscript that can replace 99% use of pkg-config, > because its just grep and cut with few conditionals. that's why i was > proposing to have a suckless pkg-config. I don't have such script, but I suppose that all of pkg-config can be implemented in awk or in shell+grep. That would be suckless. Provided that suckless.org does not provide many needed tools, and that writing suckless code to replace everything that actually needs replacement takes long, I gather that such suckless pkg-config should happen. More so if it can replace tools that suck even more, like GNU autocrap. -- Dmitrij D. Czarkoff
