KDE PIM master now requires gpgme-1.7

[Daniel Vrátil]

Hi all,

as of now KDE PIM master depends on GpgME 1.7.1 (git master currently, will be 
released soon). GpgME master is available on KDE CI and can be built through 
kdesrc-build (kdesrc-build gpgme).

As announced last month [0] we have upstreamed GpgME++ (C++ bindings for 
GpgME) and QGpgME (Qt bindings for GpGME) to the GpgME project and 1.7 is the 
first released which features those bindings. 

The upstreaming process unfortunatelly required some source-incompatible 
changes, so old KDE PIM cannot be built against GpgME++/QGpgME 1.7 (can still 
be built against GpgME++/QGpgME from our gpgmepp.git repo though). Since the 
upstreamed bindings contain some new API that we want to use in KDE PIM, we 
have ported KDE PIM master to the new API and thus KDE PIM master now requires 
GpgME 1.7.1 and can no longer be compiled against GpgME++/QGpgME from 
gpgmepp.git.

This means that KDE PIM in KDE Applications 16.12 will require GpgME >= 1.7.1 
compiled with the C++ and Qt bindings enabled. We are sorry for the 
inconvenience for packagers, but we hope that it is still early enough for 
everyone to get the new GpgME.

Let us know if there are any issues.

Thanks,
Daniel
