there are multiple development branches, some of which have not been changed
for ages, others of which are updated more or less frequently.


I am now seeing error reports or compile logs about programs in the master
branch which need newer versions of something which already exists in a
development branch.

New versions of qt or kde now need libxkbcommon, which is only in devel-xorg-
modular.

$ gaze version libxkbcommon gcc icu libpng
Grimoire Section Spell Grimoire Version Installed Version
-------- ------- ----- ---------------- -----------------
localrepos misc libxkbcommon xkbcommon-0.4.0 xkbcommon-0.4.0
smgl gnu gcc 4.6.4 4.8.2
smgl libs icu 4.8.1.1 52.1
smgl graphics-libs libpng 1.2.51 1.6.10

Note that gcc-4.9 and icu-53 are expected in early April.



I would like to propose that devel-gcc-4.8, devel-icu and devel-libpng-1.6 be
merged immediately into devel-xorg-modular, which can stabliise for a short
period and then merge devel-xorg-modular to master.


This would have the advantage of reducing the number of rebuilds because of
some of these updates.

There may be other development branches which I do not track.

If there are any spells which will only build with an old version of gcc, icu
or libpng they should explicitly depend on gcc-4.6, icu-4.8 or libpng-1.2
spells.


Regards, Treeve
