a few patches for gnome-multi-writer

[Michael Biebl]

Hi Richard,

I hope you're doing well.

We are currently in the process of packaging GNOME 3.22 for Debian.
gnome-multi-writer has been added to the apps moduleset, so the Debian
GNOME packaging team has taken over the package.

While preparing the upload, we stumbled upon a few issues, which we
patched in our Debian package and which you might want to apply
upstream. The patches are attached.

[PATCH 1/3] build: Don't remove NEWS and ChangeLog on distclean

Those should only be removed on 'maintainer-clean'. See
https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Standard-Targets.html


[PATCH 2/3] build: Move gnome-multi-writer-probe to libexecdir

gnome-multi-writer-probe is a helper binary which is not supposed to be
run directly by the user, so move it to libexecdir.

[PATCH 3/3] Drop unused build dependencies

We don't use gobject-introspection and don't ship any help documents.
So remove those dependencies from configure.ac.


I understand that g-m-w might get documentation in the future, but G-I
seems a bit unlikely and most likely the result of copying a skeleton
project.


If you have further questions, regarding those patches, please don't
hesitate to ask.

I would have preferred to send them via the GNOME bugtracker, but it
seems there hasn't been created a product yet in bugzilla.
Would be great if you can request one.

Regards,
Michael
