Comment(by smr_at_[hidden]):

 Replying to [comment:9 vladimir_prus]:
 > I am tentatively scheduling this for 1.39. Note that because pkg-config
 does not support build variant, pkg-config files may only be generated
 when building a single variant.

 Vladimir, for Debian we build with both release and debug variants.  If
 pkg-config is limited to only one variant, I'd still choose to support it
 but ship only a "release variant" pkg-config.  Can that be supported
 somehow, perhaps by giving bjam an option as to which variant to produce
 pkg-config files for?  Or by generating all of them and letting me select
 the one to install?

 Thanks,
 -Steve
