I am curious to know what packages you have so far and where do you / or plan to host them?
I was wondering if it would be a good idea to have a github repo that would contain all the packages. In addition perhaps a set of "gsi" scripts for doing the package management?
Regarding pkg-config - I think it may not be a good dependency to buy into, for the reasons David mentioned (obviously the reason becomes stronger if you add windows to the mix :) ).

I kind of hate pkg-config. Well not kind of, rather a lot actually. pretty much any packages that I have trouble building use it. it seems like a nice idea, but it doesn't seem to be sufficiently standardized to actually work well across distros (and even versions of the same distro)

I'm looking to make packages for Gambit-related projects of mine, and I noticed Arch linux in particular renames gsc and gsi to other names. Is there a way for an external project to query gsc's and gsi's new names?
If not, I think Gambit should use pkg-config https://en.wikipedi a.org/wiki/Pkg-config
I have made a patch off of master (attached) which solves my immediate problems.
Please let me know what you think.
