It's very hard to discuss if you over-exagerate my opinions to make them sound bad. I'm did not say we should not care about distros but rather that 1 year is plenty of care. > I've asked what > the impact would be on distros, no answer so far. The answer was that 1 year of grace time is enough and we shouldn't need to be bound by release cycles and packaging of individual distros. Also I pointed out the fact that it does not (in practical terms) make any sense to only upgrade to latest libvirt-glib but wanting to stay with an year old libvirt. > I've asked what the > impact would be in terms of #ifdef ugliness, no answer so far. The answer was that magnitude of ugliness is irrelevant. Surely you know that this is not anything objective. To me a single #ifdef is ugly enough but seems it's not for you so how do you expect either of us to convince each other with arguments? If you really need something more concrete, I see at least 12 #ifdefs needed. Pretty ugly for my taste at least. > Quite > hard to make a decision with so few details ;) All needed "details" are avaiable and it's only a matter of taste and amount of care we want to give to distros. Both are subjective matters. >> I'll just proceed as Dan tell me to.

I don't know many alternatives. It's either bumping the dep or adding ugly #ifdef based solution. -- Regards, Zeeshan Ali (Khattak) ________________________________________ Befriend GNOME: http://www.gnome.org/friends/ -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
