The real life expectations is that Requires.private is expected to work. A recent patch to update xserver pc file was thoroughly reviewed. <A HREF="http://wiki.x.org/wiki/ModularDevelopersGuide#RequiredTools">http://wiki.x.org/wiki/ModularDevelopersGuide#RequiredTools</A> The version 0.22 is in the time frame of Atoconf 2.60 and Automake 1.10, so it would perhaps be a good time to line-up pkg-config minimum requirements as well. <A HREF="http://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/releases/">http://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/releases/</A> I am out of context here, but if Requires.private is useless, all it means is that the build will go on and break somewhere else if a dependency is missing. If no dependenciy is missing, no problems, I assume. </BODY> </HTML>
