Maybe just a misunderstanding. I wasn't suggesting to patch the generated .c files. Of course one should apply such a change to the .vala file. In such a case though, you need to rerun valac. And once you setup debian/rules to do that, you can just do it always and forget about the generated .c files. -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth? _______________________________________________ tracker-list mailing list tracker-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/tracker-list
