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…) KiBi.
