Namespace, yes; gi/typelib file, preferably not. I was pointing-out the one-to-one mapping of namespace to gi/typelibe files which could be a problem in certain cases (see below). > That's actually trivial, the shared-library attribute takes a comma separated > list. > > We were actually using this for a while to implement C "overrides", > where importing Gtk would pull in libgtk-x11-2.0.so and libgtk-addons.so. > We've long since moved to just using gtk directly however now that C > accessors exist for all of the widget flags, etc. > > But nothing stops one from using this facility now if you want it.

Is there a way to accomplish the same for libraries in separate packages? -- Regards, Zeeshan Ali (Khattak) FSF member#5124 _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
