[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#1059623: network-manager: please build-depend on gir1.2-girepository-2.0 explicitly

[Simon McVittie]

Source: network-manager
Version: 1.44.2-6
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: pkg-gnome-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: girepository-2.0

network-manager contains tools/generate-docs-nm-settings-docs-gir.py, which
loads the GIRepository-2.0 typelib. This is currently part of
gir1.2-glib-2.0, but it will need to be moved to a separate binary package
during the GNOME 46 cycle, as a result of most of gir1.2-glib-2.0 moving to
src:glib2.0 (which has broken some of the API/ABI in the process,
resulting in it shipping an incompatible GIRepository-3.0 instead).

In practice libgirepository1.0-dev will continue to pull in the
GIRepository-2.0 from src:gobject-introspection, at least for a while,
but it will be easier to keep track of which packages will be affected
by a future transition from GIRepository-2.0 to GIRepository-3.0 if we
make the dependency explicit.

Thanks,
