gir-repository 0.6.1

[news 28]

I'm proud to announce the initial release of gir-repository.

 

Tarballs can be found at:

Now, the first thing most of you out there will ask yourself is, what is

gir-repository?

 

Gir-repository is a package containing gir files used by the

gobject-introspection project for a bunch of projects.

The point of it is to make it easier for language bindings and projects

using gobject-introspection to get girs and typelibs installed.

 

In the future the need of this package will go away as the girs will be

moved to the upstream projects themselves. For instance, GdkPixbuf/Gdk/Gtk

girs will go into gtk+ itself and will be built at the same time gtk+ itself

is built.

 

Gir-repository is currently containing the following girs, think of them

as a 1:1 mapping to pkg-config .pc files:

 

* Atk-1.0.gir

* Avahi-0.6.gir

* Babl-0.0.gir

* Clutter-0.8.gir

* ClutterCairo-0.8.gir

* GConf-2.0.gir

* GdkPixbuf-2.0.gir

Gir-repository also contains convenience API intended for language bindings

for some libraries: Gdk, Gtk, Clutter, ClutterGtk and Soup. They should

at some point go upstream as well.
