gobject-introspection 1.78.1-11 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

gobject-introspection (1.78.1-11) unstable; urgency=medium

  * d/control: gobject-introspection Depends on libglib2.0-dev.
    Otherwise, pkg-config lookup for gobject-introspection-1.0 will fail,
    which in turn makes Meson's gnome.generate_gir() fail. In practice,
    this probably only affects glib2.0 itself, because every other
    library that generates GIR XML is very likely to depend on GLib.
  * d/rules: Consistently use architecture comparison to detect cross-builds.
    This is a little more user-friendly: if a developer forgets to set
    DEB_BUILD_PROFILES=cross, but the required cross-tools happen to be
    installed anyway, the build will still work.
  * GObject-Introspection mini-policy:
    - Link to a list of packages known not to support multiarch GIR XML
    - Add underlines below section headings for better clarity
    - Clarify advice to use ${gir:Depends}, ${gir:Provides}
    - Packages should now depend on gir1.2-glib-2.0-dev, etc. if needed.
      -dev packages that use ${gir:Depends} will automatically
      start following this advice when they are rebuilt with
      gobject-introspection 1.78.1-7 or later.
    - Packages that only build typelibs need the same Build-Depends
      as packages that build GIR XML
    - Relax the requirement to depend on libgirepository1.0-dev
    - Clarify that Build-Depends(-Arch,-Indep) may be conditional
    - Provide a draft of the nogir build-profile, for future discussion
      on -devel
  * README.Debian:
    - Move to gobject-introspection.
      This should make it a bit more discoverable.
    - Mention packages that still require libgirepository1.0-dev
    - Add a note about indirect gir1.2-*-dev dependencies
    - Minor clarifications

gir1.2-freedesktop: Introspection data for some FreeDesktop components

 GObject Introspection is a project for providing machine readable
 introspection data of the API of C libraries. This introspection
 data can be used in several different use cases, for example
 automatic code generation for bindings, API verification and documentation
 generation.
 .
 GObject Introspection contains tools to generate and handle the
 introspection data.
 .
 This package contains small pieces of introspection data for the Cairo,
 FontConfig, FreeType, GL, and some XOrg libraries, in the typelib format
 used to generate bindings for dynamic languages like JavaScript and Python.
 They are far from complete and only include what is necessary for other
 introspection packages to work properly.

gir1.2-freedesktop-dev: GIR XML for some FreeDesktop components

 GObject Introspection is a project for providing machine readable
 introspection data of the API of C libraries. This introspection
 data can be used in several different use cases, for example
 automatic code generation for bindings, API verification and documentation
 generation.
 .
 This package contains small pieces of introspection data for the Cairo,
 FontConfig, FreeType, GL, and some XOrg libraries, in the GIR XML format
 used to generate bindings for static languages like C++, D and Haskell.
 They are far from complete and only include what is necessary for other
 introspection packages to work properly.

gir1.2-girepository-2.0: Introspection data for GIRepository library

 GObject Introspection is a project for providing machine readable
 introspection data of the API of C libraries. This introspection
 data can be used in several different use cases, for example
 automatic code generation for bindings, API verification and documentation
 generation.
 .
 This package contains the introspection data for the GIRepository library,
 which can be used to manipulate the search path used by language bindings
 and load introspection data.

gir1.2-girepository-2.0-dev: GIR XML for GIRepository library

 GObject Introspection is a project for providing machine readable
 introspection data of the API of C libraries. This introspection
 data can be used in several different use cases, for example
 automatic code generation for bindings, API verification and documentation
 generation.
 .
 This package contains the introspection data for the GIRepository
 library, in the GIR XML format used to generate bindings for static languages
 like C++, D and Haskell.

gir1.2-glib-2.0: Introspection data for GLib, GObject, Gio and GModule

 GObject Introspection is a project for providing machine readable
 introspection data of the API of C libraries. This introspection
 data can be used in several different use cases, for example
 automatic code generation for bindings, API verification and documentation
 generation.
 .

 bindings for dynamic languages like JavaScript and Python.

gir1.2-glib-2.0-dev: GIR XML for GLib, GObject, Gio and GModule

 GObject Introspection is a project for providing machine readable
 introspection data of the API of C libraries. This introspection
 data can be used in several different use cases, for example
 automatic code generation for bindings, API verification and documentation
 generation.

gobject-introspection: Generate interface introspection data for GObject libraries

 GObject Introspection is a project for providing machine readable
 introspection data of the API of C libraries. This introspection
 data can be used in several different use cases, for example
 automatic code generation for bindings, API verification and documentation
 generation.
 .
 GObject Introspection contains tools to generate and handle the
 introspection data.
 .
 This package contains tools for extracting introspection data from libraries
 and transforming it to different formats. The versions of these tools with
 architecture name prefixes, such as riscv64-linux-gnu-g-ir-scanner,
 can be used during cross-compilation.
 .
 Although this package includes the pkg-config metadata for both the tools
 and the libgirepository-1.0 library, it does not guarantee to provide the
 library itself (currently it does provide the libgirepository-1.0.so
 symlink as a workaround for a Meson issue, but this should not be
 relied on). Packages that explicitly link to libgirepository-1.0.so,
 mainly dynamic language bindings like GJS and PyGIi, will need to
 build-depend on libgirepository-1.0-dev in addition to this package.

gobject-introspection-bin: Executables for gobject-introspection

 GObject Introspection is a project for providing machine readable
 introspection data of the API of C libraries. This introspection
 data can be used in several different use cases, for example
 automatic code generation for bindings, API verification and documentation
 generation.
 .
 This package contains the implementation for various tools.
 Please do not depend on this package directly: use gobject-introspection
 instead.
