Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal User: release.debian....@packages.debian.org Usertags: transition
Hi, I'd like to start the gobject-introspection transition. The chage is in the gir/typelib file format. This involves every gir1.0-* package, but since the package names have changed, I don't think everything needs to migrate together, as the old gir1.0-* binaries can be kept around for a while until everything is fixed, even if they are no longer built from any source. Then plan is to upload gobject-introspection 0.10.2-1 to unstable, and then all convert all the gir packages to the new format / package name. Most of them are already done in experimental, so it would only mean uploading the packages to unstable. Since I maintain most of the gir1.0 packages (in pkg-gnome) I would do most of the work when uploading gobject-introspection. It's also relevant that dh_introspection has got stricter, now it will fail if the git format doesn't match the package name (e.g. your package is gir1.0 but the format is 1.2). This is good since changing the format is like changing a library ABI. Please let me know when I can start the transition.
