It integrates into colcon-core as an extension, allowing developers to set up pkg-config search paths without manual environment setup before each build.\n\nThe package is minimal and single-purpose: it exists to bridge colcon's build orchestration with pkg-config's file discovery mechanism. It has one runtime dependency (colcon-core) and carries no known vulnerabilities. However, it has been dormant since its first release, with no updates to track changes in colcon or pkg-config tooling.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are already using colcon for C/C++ builds and need pkg-config file discovery to work out of the box. No, if your colcon setup is recent or if you manage pkg-config paths through other means. The dormant maintenance status means it may not work with newer colcon versions\u2014verify compatibility before committing."},"id":"colcon-pkg-config","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/colcon-pkg-config","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/colcon-pkg-config.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/colcon-pkg-config/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2018-06-28","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"colcon-pkg-config","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Extension for colcon adding an environment variable to find pkg-config files."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":195011,"position":9821,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.1.0"}
