Can a jq.pc pkg-config file be added to the jq or jq-devel rpm package?

  • 1.  Can a jq.pc pkg-config file be added to the jq or jq-devel rpm package?

    I wanted to use jq from perl on AIX. JSON::JQ would allow this. Unfortunately the jq binding is based on the originanl sources https://stedolan.github.io/jq and not on the AIX jq/jq-devel rpm packages. The JSON::JQ maintainer is willing to consider the special AIX use case, if the rpm packages would contain a jq.pc pkg-config file. Can a jq.pc pkg-config file be added to the jq or jq-devel rpm package in the next release?

    Unlike most other Opensource packages , jq is not providing a pkgconfig (.pc) file by itself. So we have to create it by ourself. 
    We will try to do that in the next release. BTW, I don't see jq-devel (or dev) delivering .pc files in other distros as well.
