Yep, I remember. But there were no reason to not update this version together with package update. Also debdiff says that two lines were changed in file "po/zh_CN/kde-gtk-config.po". ;-) >> * Bump Standards-Version to 4.2.1 (was 4.1.4): no changes required. > > Right, I haven't bumped any Standards-Version beyond 4.1.4, that's, a personal > decision based on a change introduced in 4.1.5.

Happily, this rule should not affect kde-gtk-config package because it is now among basic KDE applications. >> * Simplify debian/control: drop requirement of specific version of cmake >> (was >= 2.8.12), because even Debian Jessie has cmake version 3.0.2. > > The CMakeLists.txt states that it requires the version, why would the > debian/control show this requirement? > > I don't see a simplification here, also the version build dependency is added > by a script that parses the CMakeLists.txt shipped in the package in > particular: > cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.12) Obviously we use different tools and rules during maintaining of packages.

If you will add versioned dependency in a next upload, than let it be. Or you may manually edit file after automatic changes done by script. Or we may improve that magical script... This is co-maintained package. We just have to come to common decision and I will add a point in my notes for this package. > Are you really that much against adding a version dependency is no longer in > the archive? This is not strictly a matter of principle, but just a question of common sense. Best regards, Boris
