General questions first: - Are there frequent releases of those? - Do you often need newer versions? - What are your relations with the upstream authors? (for example, can you bother them with the GNOME schedule?) About gupnp, it depends on gssdp, right? About libgee, shouldn't this be in glib, or in the language itself, instead of an extra library? Did you read http://live.gnome.org/TwoPointThirtyone/ExternalDependencies? Especially this part: If you want to add a new dependency or want one of the minimum versions updated, make a good case for it on desktop-devel-list (this may only require a few sentences). In particular, provide reasons why it is important to bump the version number, explain any impact (compile and run time) on other modules, and list any additional external dependencies it would pull in as well as any requirements on newer versions of existing external dependencies. Be prepared for others to take a few days to test it (in particular, to ensure it builds) before giving a thumbs up or down. Are you ok with it?
