Missing pkgconfig file in udunits2

[yt87]

I have a question: should a missing *.pc file be added inside conda-forge build process, or the bug report passed upstream to the original package developers? The package in question is udunits2. I had trouble building my python extension and asked for help on the Python discourse forum: https://discuss.python.org/t/meson-python-and-conda-am-i-doing-it-right/26705.

For example, zlib provides the file zlib.pc. The udunits source from unidata does not. However, Debian's maintainers add udunits.pc to libudunits2-dev: https://packages.debian.org/sid/armhf/libudunits2-dev/filelist.

I am new to this forum, though I have been using conda-forge as a source for python packages for a few years. I thought I better ask before making a PR.

You should ask the original package developers to do that. You can also add it to the conda-forge build process as a patch like what debian does https://sources.debian.org/patches/udunits/2.2.28-5/pkg-config.patch, but sending it upstream is preferred.

Thanks. Sent an email to suppport-udunits@unidata.ucar.edu.
