That's #3 actually; propose a new external dependency (same as you do when you want to increase a new one). I know the process is still imperfect (e.g. I think we didn't do a feature request announcement yet, we should clearly announce which ones are 'accepted' + should've monitored the progress on accepted features). Result is that it that the 'rules' are unclear. I think in the end focussing on features instead of external dependencies is better. But I think the thought is still underway. Risk for the feature focus is that the external dependencies "rules" are forgotten. E.g. I noticed that gnome-boxes increased its libosinfo version requirement in 3.4.1. That's not so nice when distribution is in a version freeze. -- Regards, Olav _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
