Created attachment 121904 [details, diff] gedit-2.18-configure.patch interesting bug, upstream forgot to change their numbers :) if you have a gnome bugzilla account you could report the bug there to get points and link them to this patch.

Upstream says: ------- Comment #2 from Steve Frécinaux 2007-06-13 10:42 UTC ------- 2.16 is the API version, not the application version. Updating it every time causes some issues, related to pkg-config: during the build you are looking for a "$package-$version" file, and every time you bump that version number you have to bump all the projects that depend on it. Additionnaly, this file has a version number in it. So in short it should only be updated when there are incompatible changes in the API. It doesn't make sense to bump it the way you propose. Well, okay. Closing bug.
