[arch-general] The libgmp update
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

No, it's the other way round. Using versioned deps is just wrong. -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

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.
