Abstract
pkgconf is the defacto implementation of the pkg-config system, used in most FOSS operating systems to manage dependencies of C and C++ software.
Last year, at SeaGL, I presented a talk about pkgconf's history and overall direction. By the time this talk is given, pkgconf 3.0 will have been released. What parts of the roadmap have been realized? What features outside the roadmap have been added? And finally, how can we further improve the pkg-config system for developers?
