zeitgeist rc buggy, apparently unmaintained and required by gnome
While looking at why gnome-core is not installable on arm64 official I
discovered that zeitgeist had failed to build. Further investigation
found that the same issue had been encountered during an amd64 rebuild
test and had been reported as
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=763219
Some googling shows this is an issue that other projects using valadoc
have run into but doesn't provide enough information for someone like me
who is clueless about valadoc to fix it.
Since the bug report has received no maintainer response yet, there has
been no maintainer uploads of the package for nearly a year and the
package seems to be related to gnome* I thought it was reasonable to
bring this to the gnome teams attention.
P.S. ubuntu disabled the documentation build for unrelated reasons,
namely that they don't have valadoc in main.
* gnome-core depends on empathy which build-depends on libfolks-dev
which is built from source package folks which build-depends on
libzeitgeist-2.0-dev
<https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=zeitgeist&suite=sid>
which is built from source package zeitgeist. Also the vala lanauge
apppears to be maintained by the gnome project.
