Unable to compile cardano-cli on fedora due to missing libsodium
1 project | /r/cardano | 4 Dec 2023

this may only be effecting fedora 39 users, but how i resolved it was by going to pkg config repo where then i checked out version 2.0. then i compiled, and installed pkg-config manually. double checked that the version was now 2.0 up from 1.9.5. then went back into the cardano node repo and packages were found successfully during compilation. not sure what is up with pkg-config not working on version 1.9.5 but i'm glad it's over, and hopefully this helps anyone else out suffering from the same thing. may the force be with you all.
Opinion: Don’t ask when [package] will land. It’s impolite and disrespectful of the maintainer’s time, unless you yourself are a maintainer.

pkgconf 1.9 seems to be only an unstable release series that will result in the stable 2.0. See NEWS

Is the author the same person that talks about Inclusivity, and then posts screencaps of other people they are having disagreements with to twitter, for their followers to sneer at? [1]
Is this the same person who uses the departure of a developer as a reason to "fix" a community [2], when the mailmap of one of their projects shows they are referring to their own faked departure? [3]
This stuff doesn't make the Alpine Linux project look good. I totally see that its very rude to attack a person like this, but i think its abusive behavior and needs to be called out.
