I only intend to include bindings with the permission of the creators, regardless of license. I have asked a few people for permission to include their bindings, but not everyone (mostly because of a lack of free time). With that in mind, I suppose there are a couple different groups: Sometimes the authors of the bindings in question simply haven't asked for them to be included in vala-extra-vapis. This may be because they don't know about vala-extra-vapis, or just haven't gotten around to it yet. Sometimes binding authors don't want them included. Some people may want to keep their bindings separate. The bindings are abandoned. Sometimes people write bindings for software that they no longer use, and end up just abandoning the bindings. Technically I suppose these bindings still fall into one of the categories mentioned above, just with a bit more apathy added to the mix. If you would like to contact the authors to encourage them to submit their bindings, that would be great. I'd love to get to the point where that list vanishes. -Evan _______________________________________________ vala-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/vala-list
