Which package will provide the common KDE library version number ?

[Alexander Neundorf]

Hi,

right now the common version number for libraries in kdelibs/KDE is defined in 
KDE4Defaults.cmake:

# define the generic version of the libraries here
# this makes it easy to advance it when the next KDE release comes
# Use this version number for libraries which are at version n in KDE
# version n
set(GENERIC_LIB_VERSION "4.8.0")
set(GENERIC_LIB_SOVERSION "4")

# Use this version number for libraries which are already at version n+1
# in KDE version n
set(KDE_NON_GENERIC_LIB_VERSION "5.8.0")
set(KDE_NON_GENERIC_LIB_SOVERSION "5")


So whichever package wants to have a common version number with the rest of 
KDE, uses this.
This file is currently installed as part of kdelibs

With the modularized KDE frameworks there will be no more kdelibs.
Do we still want a such a common version number ?
If yes, who (which file/package) should define it ?

P.S. this is definitely not extra-cmake-modules
