Package: corebird
Version: 1.2-2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hi,

I've just tried to backport corebird to jessie, but noticed that a few
build-deps are lacking versions documented in configure.ac; while it
isn't a terrible issue within sid or stretch (corebird builds within its
suite, so that's not an issue), people trying to backport it might think
they only need to backport librest (which goes fine), then notice that
valac is not in sufficient version (and backport vala), then notice that
there are still a bunch of unmet dependencies.

The attached patch documents the needed versions; thanks for considering.

(I gave up backporting corebird when I noticed gtk3 & glib & gstreamer…)
