So, is our deps policy about build-time only dependencies too? I don't think it should be. We want people to be able to *use* recent WebKitGTK+ in older distros, mainly because sometimes full upgrade is the only way to get security updates. But people *building* WebKitGTK+ can build also any dependency that is missing or not recent enough in their distro. So, I think we should always allow to bump requirements of build-only dependencies (CMake, GCC/clang, perl, python, ruby, etc.) if it helps the project maintenance. > Michael > _______________________________________________ > webkit-dev mailing list > webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org > https://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo/webkit-dev > _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org https://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo/webkit-dev
