<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi.<br>
I think there is a good argument to force version matching - it
makes <br>
helping people fix problems much easier. Even now its difficult
enough to<br>
get people to hand in good bug reports (which gcc version, which
automake, <br>
what does the opts file look like....).<br>
At the moment its nice to at least just have one version of the
core modules to deal<br>
with, instead of having to figure out which version of each module
is being used.<br>
Also its makes it more difficult for somebody else to verify the
problem because<br>
you would basically need to install the other guys module
versions. Furthermore <br>
matching versions is all we can test for during nightly builds.<br>

sorry, but "because we always did it this way" is not a good reason for me.

That was never meant as an argument.

Actually, I do not have any strong feelings about version
dependencies, despite that they are nearly always broken (just take
dune-grid 1.0 and which demands for dune-common >=1.0 LOL) and a lot
of work.
To me the CMake version systems makes some sense. There, the packages
export which to which of their own versions they are compatible. Kind
of contradicts the pkg-config stuff, though.
