Bug Description

the mir-client-platform-mesa-dev pkg-config file was dropped in wily, leading to build errors for such optional packages like mesa and xorg-server.

Even if you have a feature freeze exception, you shouldn't break existing API's after feature freeze.

I ran into this problem too.

It's annoying, however when I investigated I found the new .pc file name (same as the old one but without "-dev") is more correct and more like that of other projects...

I don't think ~mir-team is going to, or has any desire to change it back.

I'm not endorsing late changes of any sort. Just trying to be realistic in the face of breakages that have already been released...

We can't WontFix this in the distro. We broke feature freeze and broke unrelated software.

Unfortunately changing it back will break those projects that already support Mir 0.17.0. Xmir and possibly much more.

What we could do is have both file names side by side.

Would it be acceptable to update the xorg and mesa packages to use the new pkgconfig file name instead of changing Mir (which is what we should have done much earlier)?

in this case, please can you make sure that other reverse build dependencies are
changed too? Of course you should check them. both main and universe, I only
saw this while doing a late test rebuild of main only to test other things.

no longer affects: mir
no longer affects: mir/0.17
