Hi, More and more packages are getting / installing vala bindings. While adding vala bindings to the spice-gtk package I've noticed that there are some issues / inconsistencies with how vala bindings are packaged:
1) Some packages put them in their regular -devel, others in a separate -vala 2) Many packages with vala bindings don't take care of the /usr/share/vala/vapi directory ownership. Note these 2 are somewhat related, if we solve 2 by making vala itself own /usr/share/vala/vapi (currently it owns /usr/share/vala but not /usr/share/vala/vapi), then having the files in a regular -devel means making that -devel require vala. OTOH if we make /usr/share/vala/vapi part of some filesystem package, then one can easily argue that there is little sense in having separate -vala subpackages, since the vala headers are quite small, and a -vala package will require the main -devel anyways they might just as well go directly into the -devel package. Eitherway I think we need some (minimalistic) guidelines on howto package vala bindings so that we can do this consistently and with proper directory ownership.
