Description Tom Payne (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

I have a package that expects to use pkg-config to learn about Xrender. /usr/X11R6/lib/libXrender.* is supplied by x11-base/xfree, but it does not supply /usr/lib/pkgconfig/xrender.pc.
The package which wants xrender.pc is x11-libs/cairo. Right now, the cairo ebuild installs its own xrender.pc which arbitarily gives xrender a version number of 1.0 (the actual version is 1.2 on my xfree-4.3.0-r5 installation.
If you do not consider this bug worth fixing (I know of no other packages that want xrender.pc) then feel free to mark this bug as WONTFIX.

Regards,

Tom

I'd expect a Gentoo dev to search before filing a bug ... I'm a little disappointed.

Sorry. I don't think any packages other than cairo use it, and there was no cairo ebuild in the tree, so I didn't expect such a bug to already exist.
