Bug#943951: RFS: gexiv2/0.12.0-1 [RC] -- GObject-based wrapper around the Exiv2 library

[Jason Crain <jason@inspiresomeone.us>]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: important

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "gexiv2"

Also, I received a request to upload a version of this to experimental,
using the exiv2 library from experimental, so after this is done I'll
follow up with a new sponsorship request for that.

 * Package name    : gexiv2
   Version         : 0.12.0-1
   Upstream Author : gexiv2-list@gnome.org
 * URL             : https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/gexiv2
 * License         : GPL-2+
 * Vcs             : https://salsa.debian.org/debian/gexiv2
   Section         : libs

It builds those binary packages:

  libgexiv2-2 - GObject-based wrapper around the Exiv2 library
  gir1.2-gexiv2-0.10 - GObject-based wrapper around the Exiv2 library - introspection data
  libgexiv2-dev - GObject-based wrapper around the Exiv2 library - development files
  libgexiv2-doc - GObject-based wrapper around the Exiv2 library - documentation

To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL:

  https://mentors.debian.net/package/gexiv2

Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

  dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/gexiv2/gexiv2_0.12.0-1.dsc

Changes since the last upload:

   * New upstream version 0.12.0
   * Update d/copyright
     * Add gexiv2 mailing list to Upstream-Contact.
   * Update d/rules
     * Remove dbgsym migration code since migration is complete.
     * No longer need to specify meson build system since autotools build was
       removed.
     * Renamed enable-gtk-doc option to gtk_doc.
   * Update d/control
     * Bump debhelper level to 12.
     * Switch to the 'debhelper-compat' dependency style. Remove the d/compat
       file.
     * Update Standards-Version to 4.4.1 No changes necessary.
     * Add Rules-Requires-Root: no
   * Update symbols
   * Dynamically generate d/libgexiv2-2.symbols.
     Upstream removed the script which kept C++ symbols from being exported due
     to regressions on OpenBSD (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gexiv2/issues/27).
     Mark all C++ symbols as optional since these aren't part of the API.
   * Use 'python3' instead of 'python' in autopkgtest.
     Thanks to Matthias Klose (Closes: #943447)
   * Install /usr/share/vala/vapi/gexiv2.deps.
     This file tells vala about dependencies.
   * Add patch Use-exiv2-version-0.25.patch.
     This modifies gexiv2 to use exiv2 version 0.25, the version currently in
     Debian unstable. Upstream is set to use exiv2 version 0.26 or later,
     which is only currently available in Debian experimental.

Regards,
