That sounds like a good fix, although it doesn't look like pkg-config
was pulled over. If you decide to do it this way there should probably
be a test for things that cannot be one type of dependency or the other
so that someone who used pkgconfig:run would get a helpful error
message. And of course for things that don't have a : they should get
appropriate defaults. By my count there are over 10k ports using just
pkgconfig, it's probably a larger number that use other gnome bits.
Baptiste already volunteered to do an exp-run for this topic on Monday.
If you don't have time to get your changes ready before then IMO we
should go ahead with removing the line from bsd.gnome.mk. Making that
correct fix now won't negatively affect your ability to make a
different/better change later; but doing it now will give us more
opportunity to see the results and fix any regressions.
If you decide to go forward, please file a PR with your change, and
coordinate with Baptiste.
Thanks!
Doug
