Source: vala Version: 0.56.2-1 Severity: serious Tags: upstream Hi,
See the discussion on the Debian Rust maintainers list for background: https://alioth-lists.debian.net/pipermail/pkg-rust-maintainers/2022-August/022857.html While that discussion is about Rust packages that were rejected, the same situation also applies to Vala unfortunately. For more details how to solve this in a way that makes ftp-masters happy, please refer to them. The whole vapi subdirectory of the source package currently contains autogenerated files for which the original source is not available in Debian. Some examples for this are - gstreamer-audio-1.0.vapi: This was generated from the gir file of the corresponding library. While the library does exist in Debian and also the gir file (libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev), the same version does not exist and regenerating it from the version in Debian will introduce changes due to being older. As of 0.56.2 the file was generated from an unspecified git snapshot after the last GStreamer release, see https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/vala/-/commit/6d80e07996834ace2a8d0f994913bc9cc623ec9b - gnet-2.0.vapi: The corresponding library does not even exist in Debian. This is not a full list. You'll have to check one by one for all of these autogenerated files and provide the original source in the correct version, or ideally regenerate the files based on the source code in Debian on every build. >From my understanding, regenerating the files with whatever version is available in Debian at build time is not an option if you don't want to lose upstream support for any vapi-related bugs. These files are also included in binary packages. -- System Information: Debian Release: bookworm/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (700, 'unstable'), (500, 'unstable-debug'), (100, 'experimental'), (1, 'experimental-debug') merged-usr: no Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.18.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled
