The versioned requires are there to make sure we get new enough versions with
distro upgrades. I only added versions where it seemed like the minimum
requirements are newer than what was available in F21.

I normally add versioned dependencies to core packages where we absolutely have
to make sure that distro upgrades don't break things, so that the depsolver
would know that it needs to update dependencies as well. In less mission
critical packages I don't usually bother; I honestly can't remember why I added
them here because latexila doesn't sound very mission critical :)

Some other libraries like glibc use symbol versioning, which makes it all
automatic and avoids the need to manually specify versions, but sadly we aren't
using it in gnome.

> Why are you packaging it for F23? Are you planning to upgrade LaTeXila?

Yes. I packaged it up because it was needed for a latexila 3.17.x development
release. In the mean time, F23 release has come and gone and we're now well
under way to the 3.19 cycle and gedit has started using it as well.
