Description Sébastien Wilmet 2016-10-18 18:44:24 UTC 
Build system: do not hardcode the API version, use a variable.

Like in gspell:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gspell/tree/configure.ac?h=1.2.0#n43

To follow the GNOME Programming Guidelines:

And because it would be much more convenient, of course.
Comment 2 Sébastien Wilmet 2016-10-19 18:09:36 UTC 
Partly done with the following commits (first commit at the end of the list):

7fce354 build: do not hardcode API version for tests
6a70569 build: document why the API version is not used for the main source code
3c133e5 build: do not hardcode API version in vapi metadata filename
2826d12 build: do not hardcode API version for the docs
4263519 build: do not hardcode API version for style schemes
1931fa1 build: do not hardcode API version for language specs
d8306a1 build: do not hardcode API version for glade catalog
93c4cb3 build: do not hardcode API version for the pkg-config file
4dd21d0 build: create GSV_API_VERSION variable

For GtkSourceView 4, the GSV_API_VERSION can be set to just 4 (not 4.0), so that we can use the variable in the gtksourceview/ directory.
