[Pkg-phototools-devel] Bug#695342: Uses wrong location for gobject-introspection files

[Michael Biebl]

Package: entangle
Version: 0.4.1-1
Severity: important

entangle provides gobject introspection files and installs them into the
system paths.

/usr/share/gir-1.0/Entangle-0.1.gir
/usr/lib/<triplet>/girepository-1.0/Entangle-0.1.typelib

If those gi files are really meant to be system-wide, they should be
split up into a -dev and gir1.2- package according to the gi mini policy
[2]. Please also not that gobject-introspection does not yet support
multi-arch paths so the typelib files need to be moved (manually) to
/usr/lib/girepository-1.0 for now [1].
