i have added a #muon build to #pkgconf CI. the goal of this is to allow us to begin thinking about deprecating the autotools-based build system.

this won't happen until next year, most likely, but muon is sufficiently complete at this point that i think it solves the bootstrapping problem enough that we can start thinking about getting rid of the autotools stuff, probably in pkgconf 3.1 or so.

anyway #pkgconf users can use X-ESRB-Rating or whatever, I guess. 🙃

would an annual (or perhaps semi-annual) #pkgconf distributions meeting be useful?

(and if you have thoughts, reply here?)

thanks to everyone who tuned in to watch the last little bit of building out the new #pkgconf test harness

tonight i will be refactoring #pkgconf CLI so that we can get rid of the kyua/atf testsuite in favor of a standard TAP testsuite.

i might stream this if i feel like it

i will be doing another #pkgconf dev stream in an hour or so! this one will mostly be about pkgconf on windows platforms, it is finally time to clean up the mess.

this one will be on both youtube & twitch because no 24 hour waiting period this time!

apparently #pkgconf lets you do:

Requires: foo
Requires: bar
Requires: baz

freedesktop pkg-config does not support this, so i have added a lint

i will be talking about #pkgconf at FOSDEM in the SBOM devroom! don't know when it is scheduled yet, though :)

#pkgconf dev stream will be around 8pm PT! there is a little bit of setup i need to do with restreamer first. this is also kind of a test run, i am planning on doing streaming on a regular basis now that i have things mostly set up the way i want.

as a reminder, i will be talking about pkg-config, early/present #pkgconf, and pkgconf 3.x at #SeaGL2025 next saturday (november 8!)

if you care about SDK management, C SBOMs, or software packaging at large, there will be useful content for you! lots of exciting stuff to discuss!
