Re: [Vala] VAPI bindings for external lib
Hi, perfect! Thank you for fast response. Just one question. Is there any vapi repos to upload resulting vapi. It would be nice to have something like nexus for maven but in this case for vapis.

It's unofficial in the sense that it's not maintained in the vala tree, it's official in the sense that as Vala developers we suggest using it. Should be the perfect place for sharing your vapi.
