408062 - Provide short-hand includetype=unstable .pc files for libxul and libxul-embedding

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Toolkit Graveyard :: XULRunner, enhancement)

Description

[Alexander Sack]

Please provide short-hand .pc config files libxul-unstable.pc and libxul-embedding-unstable.pc.

Reason: While --define-variable=includetype=unstable works well from the command line it doesn't go together well with the autoconf pkg.m4 (which doesn't support any parameters). nor does it allow libs to refer to the unstable API in the |Requires| field, like:

 Requires: libxul-unstable

While I see that its discouraged to use unstable, its commonly used by gecko embedders in the free software community (especially since gtkmozembed is in unstable). Providing libxul-embedding-unstable.pc and libxul-unstable.pc would ease migrating those apps to xulrunner 1.9 a lot.

This is ok, except you copy-pasted the comment from the other .pc file which no longer applies.
