Hi all, I have a short question, asking for opinion and feedback.At the moment all gir1.2-* packages in Debian must have multi-arch paths for the .typelibs files that provide information for gobject introspection.
In Ubuntu and possibly other derivatives, this step has not been taken yet, .typelibs files are installed to non-multi-arch locations.
This makes it quite difficult for downstream maintainers (Ubuntu et al.) to simply pull over src:packages that provide some gir1.2-* bin:package.
My proposal for the interim phase (however long that might be) is to provide symlinks in gir1.2-* packages that provide correct functionalities in Debian and downstream distros (such as described above), as well.
/usr/lib/girepository-1.0/Caja-2.0.typelib -> /usr/lib/<triplet>/girepository-1.0/Caja-2.0.typelibThis surely wouldn't be something worth a freeze exception (I guess), but once we have jessie in place, is this something others would consider, as well?
Happy about feedback!
