[Bf-committers] platform maintainers: request to update exr lib to 2.0

[Sergey Sharybin]

We've discussed it in IRC today. Conclusion is:

1. Windows/OSX libs are safe for update, wouldn't lead to issues and
platform maintainers could just go ahead
2. I'll update linux build environment during next week.
3. Before merge the code to trunk, we'll need to update wiki page with
building instructions and update install_deps.sh. If nobody volunteers to
help updating the script, i'll try to update it over next week (or two)
4. Then we're safe for merge :)

Could still cause some PITA for distros maintainers tho, but eeh.. Krita
will also require openexr2.0 soon so afraid the only way (apart from
disabling openexr support) would be to include openexr2.0 libs to repos...
