I've uploaded the package to mentors.  I'm a little bit nervous about
upstream's changes to gexiv2.vapi.  The new version removes some things
about streams and a log hander, but I don't know enough about vala to
know if that's a problem, or whether anything in Debian uses the vala
bindings.

* Package name    : gexiv2
  Version         : 0.10.4-1
  Upstream Author : Jens Georg <mail@jensge.org>
* URL             : https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/gexiv2
* License         : GPL-2+
  Section         : libs

It builds those binary packages:

gir1.2-gexiv2-0.10 - GObject-based wrapper around the Exiv2 library - introspection da
libgexiv2-2 - GObject-based wrapper around the Exiv2 library
libgexiv2-dev - GObject-based wrapper around the Exiv2 library - development file

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_0.10.4-1.dsc

More information about gexiv2 can be obtained from https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/gexiv2.

Changes since the last upload:

  * New upstream version 0.10.4
  * Make compile warnings nonfatal.  Add --disable-Werror to debian/rules
    override_dh_auto_configure.
  * Add fix-typelib-install-directory.patch from upstream.  The .typelib files
    were being installed in $(datadir)/gir-1.0.  This patch moves them to the
    correct location $(libdir)/girepository-1.0.
  * Add always-install-vapi-file.patch from upstream.  The .vapi file was only
    being installed when valac was present.  This patch causes the pre-built
    vapi file to be used when valac is not available.
  * Update to standards version 3.9.8
  * Switch to automatic dbgsym packages
  * Move from debhelper 9 to 10
    - Remove --parallel and --with autoreconf, they're default now
  * Enable hardening flags.  Add DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS = hardening=+all.
  * Add linker flags -Wl,-z,defs -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed
  * Remove shlibs:Depends for gir1.2-gexiv2-0.10.  There's no use for it when
    the package only contains python and typelib files and it causes a warning
    message.
  * Update debian/copyright.
    - Upstream has assigned copyright to SFC.
    - Add copyright of several new m4 macros.
    - Add comment clarifying origin of gexiv2-managed-stream.h.
  * Add debian/upstream/metadata
  * Remove Build-Depends on libtool-bin.  It's no longer necessary since
    upstream fixed their call to g-ir-scanner in
    https://bugzilla.gnome.org/765827.
  * Add debian/control VCS fields
  * Update debian/libgexiv2-2.symbols.
  * New maintainer (Closes: #755415)
