Hello,

just to confirm, all the packages linked against the new libgmp should
follow 'coreutils' example and use 'gmp>=5.0', right?
I just saw that gnunet didn't.

Cheers,
Hilton

is not a rule that we have to have this restriction. some maintainers
prefer not to have it, some does.

No, it's the other way round. Using versioned deps is just wrong.

Agreed. Not having it means you can not do "pacman -Sy gnunet" which
would update gmp as a side effect if using a versed dep and cause havok
to the rest of your system. Not having it means only gnunet would be
affected.

Understood. This just saved me... well thought, thanks.
