Description Yanko Kaneti 2010-09-01 12:58:07 UTC 
gnome-video-effects content looks not to be arch dependent. If this is the plan and will remain in the future then I think the pkg-config file is better suited for _datadir/pkg-config  i.e.

-pkgconfigdir = $(libdir)/pkgconfig
+pkgconfigdir = $(datadir)/pkgconfig
Comment 1 daniel g. siegel 2010-09-29 16:43:32 UTC 
right, it isn't arch dependent. 

what is the difference to put it there? is there some sort of specification about this?
Comment 2 Yanko Kaneti 2010-09-29 17:15:33 UTC 
I don't know if there is a specification for this.

On a typical multilib system (say fedora) libdir (/usr/lib or /usr/lib64) is usually reserved for arch dependent stuff while datadir is the place for everything arch independent which allows for sharing on the packaging level, i.e the noarch packages for fedora will be the same for both i686 and x86_64.

This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
