The pkgconf-pkg-config package has not been enabled yet. Once this change is accepted, I'll build to enable it, and the distribution will automatically prefer it over pkgconfig (since pkgconf-pkg-config provides a slightly higher version of pkgconfig and Conflicts with pkgconfig versions lower than what it provides for this purpose). After mass rebuild completes, pkgconfig can be retired from Rawhide/F26 and pkgconf-pkg-config can Obsolete it. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
