[Fink-devel] ncurses, gtk+2 and versioned dependencies

[AIDA S. <sh...@so...>]

Hello,

I feel a bit flustrating a bit about versioned dependencies.

* The only part of the ncurses written in C++ is libncurses++.a and
ncursesapp.h. The C++ code is linked to a program if and only if the
program invokes ncurses C++ binding. What about removing
"(>= 5.4-20041023-1006)" from pure C programs?

* The 10.3 tree has gtk+2-2.6.10-4, while the 10.4 tree has
gtk+2-2.6.10-1004. No differences between them except the Revision.
Assume that a package wants to depend on the current gtk+2 and
later. The 10.3 version of the package will depend on 2.6.10-4, while
the 10.4 one will depend on 2.6.10-1004. What about giving Revision
1004 to 10.3's gtk+2?
