Hi,

we ship several vala versions in Debian (2 atm), mostly to ease
transitions. As a consequence, we build the packages with the
--disable-unversioned flag.
Unfortunately, this means that a few important files are no longer
installed because of that, because the are unversioned [1].
The most important one is /usr/share/aclocal/vala.m4, which provides
macros which are needed if you autoreconf vala using packages.

To fix that, we intend to install those unversioned files
in /usr/share/vala-0.16/ and manage them via alternatives.

The current version in wheezy is broken in that regard which severly
limits its usefulness for vala developers.
We thus would like to fix this bug for wheezy.

A potential debdiff was created by Rico Tzschichholz.
It contains two unrelated changes (dropping unneeded quilt b-dep and
using -c4 for dpkg-gensymbols, which are a result of the Ubuntu merge).
If you consider those changes inappropriate for wheezy, let us know.

It would be great if we can proceed with the upload.

Michael

I've dropped the unrelated changes which are not necessary to fix
#678342 and uploaded 0.16.1-2. New debdiff attached.


Unblocked.

Cheers.
