Please wrap your commit logs to ~80 characters.

Is there any reason for bumping libglib2, glibmm and glib-networking in
the same patch? I seem to recall in earlier versions of your patch
series, you had separate patches for those bumps.

There are two cases here:

 *) Either the version bump are needed all together, because there is
    some tight version dependency between glibmm, glib-networking and
    libglib2. (I.e, if for example, bumping libglib2, but not bumping
    glibmm would break the build of the old version of glibmm on top of
    the new version of libglib2).

 *) Or the version bumps are independent, or dependent only on lower
    packages being bumped. In this case, we generally prefer to have
    separate patches. So in this case, I guess bump libglib2 first, and
    then either glibmm or glib-networking in whichever order your
    prefer.

Thanks,

Thomas
