Adding downstream .pc files is a controversial topic because it makes Gentoo "weird" if someone develops software on Gentoo and then finds it doesn't work on other distros...

Funnily, there is already software outside of Gentoo, which searches for pkgconfig files of mbedtls. I would wait for changes in the upstream. Implementing Gentoo-specific solutions may cause compatibility issues. Most of the projects I've checked either use the cmake subproject or try to use their own implementations of the FindMbed.cmake module. The upstream implementation of the cmake project is also quite specific, and I plan to make a few changes in upstream to make the installation of the package more consistent. Thanks! |
