I also got feedback from Luca (SUSE) that the conflict with kdepimlibs 4.14 is 
causing problems. I wonder if we should change the install locations to 
"/usr/include/gpgme-cpp" and "/usr/include/gpgme-qt" or do you think it's too 
late for that?

I like the suggestion of libgpgme-cpp-dev and libgpgme-qt-dev. I don't think 
gpgmepp and qgpgme are that widespread. And the namespaces used are just GpgME 
and QGpgME. Maybe also changing the installed librarary names to match 
libgpgme-qt.so ?


FYI there was some API missing / not installed in the qt variant that is used 
in kleopatra and KMail, so we'll need a new release soon. KDEPIM master 
already depends on the new libraries.


Thanks,
Andre
