Re: Announce: gdl 0.7.8 released

After the recent developments in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=430559 I figured that the
problem of gnome-build failing to build after removing the extra
'Requires: libxml-2.0 libglade-2.0' from gdl-1.0.pc and
gdl-gnome-1.0.pc was not related to a bug in libgnomeui-devel, but due
to a missing entry in gnome-build's configure.in.

This is required because ./src/gbf/gbf-project-util.c includes
'glade/glade-xml.h' and its Makefile.am uses GBF_CFLAGS/GBF_LIBS,
which do not have the necessary flags to build against libglade2.

At the same time, just like gdl-1.0.pc.in and gdl-gnome-1.0.pc.in, I
have removed the extra entries from Requires as they do not affect the
build-time of packages building against gnome-build-devel:

To be really pedantic, we should have added glib-2.0 in Requires since
some of the public header files include the glib2-devel headers.
However since gtk+-2.0's chain of Requires pulls in glib-2.0 (through
pango.pc), it is really not needed.

(The fact that gnome-build built fine after the extra entries were
removed from gdl-1.0.pc and gdl-gnome-1.0.pc is an indication that
they do not affect the build-time of packages building against
libgdl-devel.)

Happy hacking,
