🎙️ Whoever placed a bunch of big tables and benches at the ULB parkinglot rocks, having those allowed us to record a podcast featuring fifteen (!) people sharing their experiences on FOSDEM Sunday. Lots of folks from postmarketOS and special guests:

* @ariadne from Alpine Linux
* @flypig from Sailfish OS
* @1peter10 from LINMOB.net

Huge thanks to @williamtries and @tgm for editing this episode!

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.

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

(and if you have thoughts, reply here?)

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
