Hello, gentle developers! Recently, Debian changed their gir policy to have package names more accurately reflect the abi of the gir. Basically, gir1.0 became gir1.2.
The Desktop team has been making the transition this past week, and we're largely done. All the core GNOME libraries have been changed as well as a bunch of apps. But some packages still refer to the old names or build gir1.0 packages. Here's how to fix them if you encounter a FTBFS because of this transition: * If your package merely Build-Depends on some gir1.0-* packages, just change those to gir1.2-*. * Else if your package actually builds a gir1.0-* package: 1) Rename the package to gir1.2-* 2) Add Replaces/Conflicts lines for the old gir1.0-* version 3) Rename any debian/gir1.0-* files to debian/gir1.2-* 4) Check debian/rules for any references that need to be updated 5) And lastly check for any Build-Depends/Depends that also need to be updated from gir1.0-* to gir1.2-* The takeaway is that this is just a naming change and should be simple to fix. Come ping your friendly Desktop team member in #ubuntu-desktop for help with a stubborn package. -- mterry -- ubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
