 gobject-introspection (1.78.1-6) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * dh_girepository:
     - Fix generation of GIR XML -> typelib dependency
     - Don't generate Depends for GIR XML included by private GIR XML.
       It's somewhat common for packages like gnome-shell and cinnamon
       to ship GIR XML in a private location in a non-"-dev"-suffixed
       package. In such cases, development/compilation is not the primary
       purpose of the package, so we don't want to force a dependency
       on the -dev package that contains an included GIR XML file. For
       example, it would be inappropriate to force cinnamon to depend on
       libmuffin-dev, or gnome-shell on libmutter-dev.
       (Helps: #1057391)
   * policy:
     - Relax naming and dependency requirements for private GIR XML.
       As discussed on #1057391, this mini-policy is primarily for public
       GIR XML and public typelibs. (Helps: #1057391)
     - Cite another reason why public GIR XML cannot be
       Architecture: all
     - Replace an outdated introductory paragraph
   * d/control, d/rules: Use a shorter substvar name for libffiN
   * d/rules: Pass all dpkg-architecture variables to d/extra-substvars.py
   * d/extra-substvars.py: Generate substvars for host architecture information
   * d/elf-get-needed: Add a tool to read dependencies' SONAMEs
   * d/rules, d/control: Don't run gtk-doc for Architecture: any builds
   * d/control: g-i Depends on ${perl:Depends}, for dh_girepository
   * d/copyright: Update
   * d/control, d/tests: Depend on pkgconf in preference to pkg-config
   * d/control: gobject-introspection Depends on pkgconf
   * d/p/scanner-If-using-libtool-with-a-wrapper-use-libtool-mode-.patch:
     Add a patch to improve use of --use-binary-wrapper with libtool.
     This will help to make a future version of gobject-introspection able
     to cross-compile typelibs.
   * d/p/Drop-GIO-from-libgirepository-s-dependencies.patch:
     Add patch from upstream to avoid depending on GIO in type-dumping tool.
     This is needed for forward-compatibility with GLib 2.79.x.
   * Install GLib-2.0.gir into multiarch location, with a compatibility
     symlink.
     This will help to start the process of updating dependent packages
     to be able to load GLib-2.0.gir and other GIR XML from the multiarch
     location. (Helps: #859013)
   * Generate architecture-prefixed executables.
     These will eventually make it possible to cross-compile
     GIR XML and typelibs for (for example) riscv64-linux-gnu
     libraries on an x86_64-linux-gnu build system, by invoking
     riscv64-linux-gnu-g-ir-scanner and so on. (Helps: #801672, #905715)
   * Edit pkg-config metadata to point to architecture-prefixed tools
   * Install a Meson cross-file to force use of the prefixed tools
     If necessary, Meson can be invoked as
     "meson --cross-file ${DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE}-gobject-introspection.ini"
     to use this.
   * d/control, d/rules: Use a prebuilt g-i when cross-building.
     We can generate a special variant of debian/cross-g-ir-tool.in that wraps
     the upstream g-ir-scanner, etc. binaries with an appropriate search path
     and executable wrapper to adapt them for the host architecture.
   * d/control: Make build-dependencies satisfiable during cross-compilation.
     Thanks to Helmut Grohne for hints on how this can be achieved.
