Package: gexiv2-0.14
Version: 0.14.6-5
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
on an up-to-date Debian Sid, GIMP fails to build from its master git
branch. It complains about missing 'GExiv2-0.10.gir':
[253/2630] Generating libgimp/Gimp-3.0.gir with a custom command
(wrapped by meson to set env)
FAILED: [code=1] libgimp/Gimp-3.0.gir
[...]
Couldn't find include 'GExiv2-0.10.gir' (search path:
'['/usr/share/gir-1.0', '/home/anders/git/gimp/.',
'/home/anders/git/gimp/builddir/.', '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gir-1.0',
'/home/anders/.local/share/gir-1.0', '/usr/share/gnome/gir-1.0',
'/home/anders/.local/share/flatpak/exports/share/gir-1.0',

[266/2630] Compiling C object
libgimp/libgimpui-3.0.so.0.300.1.p/gimpproceduredialog.c.o
This looks like it comes from
https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/extras/gexiv2-0.14/-/commit/7ee373a8e620bdf5126efb46920343c0339eca40
, so the gir file is apparently needed for GIMP.
If I build gexiv2 0.14.6 locally and install it, I can build GIMP again.

If you're building gimp from upstream source using Debian's gexiv2
packaging, you will need to apply the 2 gexiv patches from
https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/extras/gimp/-/tree/debian/latest/debian/patches
I'm closing this bug because we are intentionally trying to get rid of
the old gexiv2 0.10 from Debian and not providing the gir file is part
of that.
Thank you,
Jeremy Bícha
