Given the usefulness of using share/pkgconfig/, and the fact that pkgconf upstream and many different OSes use that directory too, would you consider making your pkgconf honour that directory too? If not, could you please point me to where I should go / who should I ask to make the Ports system move .pc files from share/ to libdata/? As Daniel (diizzy) mentioned, it seems that currently only files from lib/ are moved to libdata/. If you're not convinced of share/'s usefulness, please pay this thread a visit: https://github.com/marzer/tomlplusplus/pull/165 Thanks for your time!
