Hi all, Attached is a patch to add "autoversion of dependencies" in makepkg. I think the usage of the term "autoversion" is a little vague but I can't of any other term. Anyway, autoversioning will save package maintainers a lot of time in adding and bumping the minimum required versions of a certain package's dependencies directly in the PKGBUILD. Of course, this autoversioning can be overridden by directly specifying the minimum/maximum (if ever)/exact version of a dep. Autoversioning can be disabled by using these opts: '-v' or '--nodepsver'. I've seen quite a lot of packages (extra, community) which have "out-dated" or wrong minimum versions of the deps. For instance, I've seen a package (which I can't remember) of a KDE app built against KDE 3.5.8 yet the specified minimum version is 3.5.7 (or older?). This can help prevent bugs resulting from this seemingly subtle issue. -- Darwin M.
