Flagpoll is a tool for developers to use meta-data files for storing information on what is needed to compile their software. Think of it as the rpm of software development. It provides developers with total control over which packages, versions, architectures, et cetera that they want to use meta-data from. Instead of specifying other packages' cflags and ldflag manually, you can call flagpoll mylib --cflags --ldflags and it will retrieve the flags for its package as well as its dependencies.
