I've uploaded the package to mentors. I'm a little bit nervous about upstream's changes to gexiv2.vapi. The new version removes some things about streams and a log hander, but I don't know enough about vala to know if that's a problem, or whether anything in Debian uses the vala bindings. * Package name : gexiv2 Version : 0.10.4-1 Upstream Author : Jens Georg <m...@jensge.org> * URL : https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/gexiv2 * License : GPL-2+ Section : libs It builds those binary packages: gir1.2-gexiv2-0.10 - GObject-based wrapper around the Exiv2 library - introspection da libgexiv2-2 - GObject-based wrapper around the Exiv2 library libgexiv2-dev - GObject-based wrapper around the Exiv2 library - development file To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL: https://mentors.debian.net/package/gexiv2 Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command: dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/gexiv2/gexiv2_0.10.4-1.dsc More information about gexiv2 can be obtained from https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/gexiv2. Changes since the last upload: * New upstream version 0.10.4 * Make compile warnings nonfatal. Add --disable-Werror to debian/rules override_dh_auto_configure. * Add fix-typelib-install-directory.patch from upstream. The .typelib files were being installed in $(datadir)/gir-1.0. This patch moves them to the correct location $(libdir)/girepository-1.0. * Add always-install-vapi-file.patch from upstream. The .vapi file was only being installed when valac was present. This patch causes the pre-built vapi file to be used when valac is not available. * Update to standards version 3.9.8 * Switch to automatic dbgsym packages * Move from debhelper 9 to 10 - Remove --parallel and --with autoreconf, they're default now * Enable hardening flags. Add DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS = hardening=+all. * Add linker flags -Wl,-z,defs -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed * Remove shlibs:Depends for gir1.2-gexiv2-0.10. There's no use for it when the package only contains python and typelib files and it causes a warning message. * Update debian/copyright. - Upstream has assigned copyright to SFC. - Add copyright of several new m4 macros. - Add comment clarifying origin of gexiv2-managed-stream.h. * Add debian/upstream/metadata * Remove Build-Depends on libtool-bin. It's no longer necessary since upstream fixed their call to g-ir-scanner in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/765827. * Add debian/control VCS fields * Update debian/libgexiv2-2.symbols. * New maintainer (Closes: #755415) Regards, Jason Crain
