Reduce pango version requirement (479 bytes, patch)

Description Daniel Macks 2009-06-04 15:15:00 UTC 
pangomm-2.24.0 configure specifies pangomm_min_pango_version=1.23.0, but I don't see anything in the code that actually requires that high a version. The commit that raised the requirement (d4dfd3c1d5331511b31a14eb6ddf2effc6db6731) does not directly explain why, and the new symbol needed there (pango_cairo_show_layout(() via patch to close Bug #560232) has existed since pangocairo-1.10. It's sane to want the same GNOME-suite version of pango as the pangomm wrappers, but doesn't seem required. I am unable to upgrade beyond pango-1.22.4, but I was able to compile pangomm-2.24.0 successfully and the shared library has no unresolved symbols.

OK. Could you give us a patch for this, please?

Reduce pango version requirement
Comment 3 Murray Cumming 2011-03-26 10:35:15 UTC 
I seem to be ignoring pangomm bugs. Sorry. Is still patch still useful?
Comment 4 Daniel Macks 2011-03-26 10:46:58 UTC 
I doubt it, given multiple new releases of all the related libs since then (no idea what the symbol-requirements are currently), and I have since managed to push all my systems to at least pango-2.24/pangomm-2.26.
