Just wondering about some things for plugins in the geany-plugins release. (This doesn't apply for any plugins in SVN that aren't part of the release).
Should there be a common minimum version for GTK/GLib? I think this might be a good idea.
I agree. Should be the same as Geany's in my opinion.
Yes, please.
I don't think the main Geany app should force plugin writers on any GTK/GLib version. It should be possible for the author/maintainer to use newer versions if he thinks the new functions make it easier for him to maintain it, or if they make the plugin better or something.
But that all doesn't work since the plugins are combined to a single package. They should built together, which basically implies a minimum GTK/GLib version. I think it doesn't necessarily have to be the minimum versions Geany uses.
I'm afraid this might will cause some more confusion on user's side as he e.g. can compile Geany on its outdate Debian/Fedora/foo but cannot build the plugins.
Cheers, Frank
You mean if he didn't realize that geany and geany-plugins are separate software (suites)?
Best regards.
