Its use is not limited to Gnome, as you can see it's used in the build
process of databases/sqlite3 and there are many other ports that have
nothing to do with Gnome that use it the same way. The only thing that
is wrong with it is that ends up being a run time dependency of
sqlite3 instead of being only a build time dependency. Maybe this
could be changed, anyone know if it's possible?
Actually, sqlite3 builds and works quite fine with pkg-config
dependency removed from makefile. So it's kinda silly to pull it in by
force - of course it's not pkgng problem, but a problem in the port
itself.
sqlite3 installs "/usr/local/libdata/pkgconfig/sqlite3.pc".
So I think the rationale is if a developper wants to link against
sqlite3 using the pkg-config file, he should have pkg-config on his machine.
If you go this way, you could also ask why sqlite3 install header files
which are not needed for the runtime dependency (when what is required
is only the shared object)...
Just hoping that in pkgng there would be some "Yes I might shoot
myself in foot, but sod it" -options.
Well, if you really want to shoot yourself, you can edit the local db
with sqlite.
On the other hand, based on experience with 2 boxes running
pkgng+portupgrade experimentally for some days pkgng looks like pretty
good backend. Just still with some minor nits.
