Sure. But it's at least a change in philosophy if darktable insists on the newest versions of central libraries, those that even quite recent Linux versions don't have. OpenSUSE 12.1 is just the version one preceding the current one. It's from November 2011 and I would not call it deprecated. I don't care if we insist on the most recent versions of some special libraries. That's easy to update for users. But there are so many dependencies for glib2 that updating it, is equivalent to forcing users to always update their Linux distributions. Frankly I would in any case try to avoid that. It's a hell of work and will certainly break things and bring new problems in all places. So my question: what forces us now to deprecate all systems with glib2 prior to 2.32? We should have good reasons for that step. Ulrich ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.
