I consider this a showstopper (ie: I would invite people to stay away from ecm to avoid headaches).
The past experiences with kdepimlibs and kdebase-workspace have been complete failures and both were fixed. (I fixed kdepimlibs in 2009 and Thiago fixed kdebase-workspace last year). The reason is quite simple: we don't bump the version after each feature or bug fix and if someone has a build error, the answer is "update thisModule" rather than "update thisModule to X.Y.Z version." Additionally, this requires bumping the minimum version in the depending module. You're then facing two issues: - You're not supposed to try each version to find the right one, - You can't use find_package(FOO) without the version since cmake will not check whether his cache should be refreshed. Concurrent installation are still possible using different install prefix and just playing with CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH. Christophe
