The following reply was made to PR ports/63270; it has been noted by GNATS. From: ports@fsck.ch To: Joe Marcus Clarke <marcus@FreeBSD.org> Cc: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: ports/63270: www/firefox does not install pkgconfig files correctly Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2004 11:09:42 +0100 The problem is see (though i am not master of porting) is that the mozilla-*.pc files can be provided by several ports: mozilla, mozilla-devel, firefox and other mozilla variants. Putting those files in different directories makes impossible for a port to check whether either mozilla* or firefox is installed. The various plugin wrapper ports are examples of ports that would want to do that. But then again, what happens if someone wants both mozilla/firefox to coexist?
