Description (last modified by )
Version increment to 2.6.10
http://download.gnome.org/sources/gmime
BLFS is using he 2.4.x series, and I do not know if there are incompatibilities with other packages with the 2.6.x series. However, following typical GNOME standards, a 2.6 (even number) series should be the latest stable versions.

Replying to Krejzi:
In GNOME 3.4, not all packages were able to use gmime-2.6, so I decided to keep 2.4.
Okay, sounds reasonable.
I'll upgrade it when I upgrade GNOME. Also, I must ask you not to report for anything that is related from GNOME. I will handle all of them when I upgrade GNOME. <snip> This will also include glib, pango, gtk+ and such.
If GNOME is the only thing that uses a package, I agree with you. However, for GLib, GTK+ and other things that are used by a wide variety of packages, I think we should identify new point releases. A single point release is always compatible (perhaps an exception every once in a while, but rare), and provides security updates among other things. Let's discuss on -dev.

I will handle all of them when I upgrade GNOME. When the time comes, I'll create one single ticket with all packages that point to release dir so we don't get lot of tickets for that if that is okay with you guys? This will also include glib, pango, gtk+ and such.
