 Hello,

 could somebody please explain to me the reason why we not only make all our KDE apps require a minimal kdebase4-runtime version but also not allow a higher minor version? This essentially breaks backwards compatibility, kdelibs4-4.4.0 is backwards compatible with kdelibs4-4.3.0, but KDE apps built against it can be used anyway, since we hardcode a requirement on kdebase4-runtime. Morever that requirement seems to be completely unnecessary to me, as it's just against the idea of KDE being backwards compatible with a major version.

 So, why do we do that? Otherwise I will remove the restriction.

Wasn't this explained at http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-kde/2009-06/msg00146.html?

It was, thanks :).
