Bug#366360: gtkmm2.4/2.6/2.8/2: version numbers



Hi Bradley,

About bug 366360 and these pages:
http://packages.qa.debian.org/g/gtkmm.html
http://packages.qa.debian.org/g/gtkmm2.4.html
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=361757
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=349822

I see that Debian package gtkmm2.4 contains upstream gtkmm version 2.6.
That feels somewhat confusing.  I think that gtkmm version 2.6 should
have been packaged separately in a package named gtkmm2.6, or the
package named gtkmm2.4 should have been named gtkmm2 from the start.  If
the latter is correct, then I think that the way to go is:
- copy gtkmm2.4 to gtkmm2
- update gtkmm2 to upstream version 2.8
- encourage gtkmm2.4 users to switch to gtkmm2
- remove gtkmm2.4

Is this correct, or am I missing something? Can I help?

Regards,

Bart Martens
