Package: valac Version: 0.14.2-2 Severity: wishlist "apt-get install valac" results in the valac and vapigen alternatives pointing to Vala 0.14, which is not the latest stable version. In particular, its vapigen version can't deal with bindings containing GBytes, which is new in GLib 2.32:
> TelepathyGLib-0.12.gir:27672.34-27672.34: error: The type name `GLib.Bytes' > could not be found > <type name="GLib.Bytes"/> > ^ Since AM_PROG_VALAC only checks $PATH for valac, not valac-whatever, I think it would be a good idea for the valac dependency package and the default value of the valac alternative to point to 0.16. Packages that need the newer valac can work around this with: ./configure ...
