Package: gobject-introspection Version: 1.54.1-1 Severity: normal Hi,
Some packages need to ship language override files. Some packages do that in python*-foo binaries, whereas others do it in the gir* binaries. The problem with the former is that rdeps need to depend on the python*-foo package rather than / in addition to the gir1.2-foo-* package. Examples: gedit: /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/overrides/Gedit.py gir1.2-accounts-1.0: /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/overrides/Accounts.py gir1.2-accounts-1.0: /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/overrides/Accounts.py gir1.2-dee-1.0: /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/overrides/Dee.py gir1.2-gexiv2-0.10: /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/overrides/GExiv2.py gir1.2-gexiv2-0.10: /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/overrides/GExiv2.py python-blockdev: /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/overrides/BlockDev.py python-gst-1.0: /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/overrides/Gst.py python-gst-1.0: /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/overrides/GstPbutils.py python-gst-1.0: /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/overrides/_gi_gst.x86_64-linux-gnu.so python-gst-1.0-dbg: /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/overrides/_gi_gst.x86_64-linux-gnu_d.so python-v-sim: /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/overrides/v_sim.py python-vipscc: /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/overrides/Vips.py python3-blockdev: /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/overrides/BlockDev.py python is probably ok, as it's an app and doesn't export the typelib, it's shipped in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gedit/girepository-1.0/. As for the rest: python*-gst may be special as it builds a library, but for the others it may be best to just ship the overrides in the gir packages. Thoughts?
