Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.10.2
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
packages shipping gobject-introspection files should follow the mini
policy outlined at [1].
If they install the introspection files into the system paths, the
.typelib file should go into a gir1.2-foo-X.Y package.
The .gir file should be moved into a -dev package.
There are some simple checks that lintian could do:
1/ Warn if the gir1.2-foo-X.Y package is not in section "introspection".
This section in the archive has been created explicitly for
gobject-introspection files.
2/ Warn if a package installs a .typelib file in the system path without
using a separate gir1.2 package.
This is usually an indication that the introspection files should either
be package-private or be split according to [1]
3/ Warn if the gir1.2-foo-X.Y package has no ${gir:Depends}
4/ Warn if the -dev package has no
Depends: gir1.2-foo-X.Y (= ${binary:Version}). This one is probably
tricky for src packages which build multiple -dev packages.
Cheers,
Michael
