I thought of this for a long time and gave the first stab to it now.. It is meant to be a way to easy update the versions required of several core packages in kde4 packaging - especially build depends. How to use it? First time is a bit hard. control needs to be copied to control.in - and versions to be controlled by this needs to be changed. Like this: -Build-Depends: cdbs (>= 0.4.51), debhelper (>= 6), quilt, cmake, - kdepimlibs5-dev (>= 4:4.0.68), libphonon-dev (>= 4:4.0.68), +Build-Depends: cdbs (>= CDBS_MIN_VER), debhelper (>= 6), quilt ( >= QUILT_MIN_VER), cmake(>= CMAKE_MIN_VER), + kdepimlibs5-dev (>= KDEPIMLIBS_UPSTREAM_VERSION), libphonon-dev (>= KDELIBS_UPSTREAM_VERSION), after that, run make -f debian/cdbs/control.mk update-versions and look at the new debian/control - and see if it is as expected. Each time a update of a version is required, just change the values in cdbs/versions.mk (and we might also want to make more of them fixed in the future) If we decide to use this on all packages, we could hook it in as a part of the clean target ... And some more robustness might also be required. Comments welcome. /Sune -- How may I load a RAM IDE proxy?
