NAME

dh_girepository - compute dependencies for GObject introspection packages

SYNOPSIS

dh_girepository [debhelper options] [-ldirectory] [-pdirectory] [-Xitem] [private [...]]

DESCRIPTION

dh_girepository is a debhelper program to compute dependencies for packages shipping GObject introspection data.

The dependencies are generated in the ${gir:Depends} substitution variable.

Note that dh_girepository will not be executed automatically by dh; you need to use "dh $@ --with gir" for "dh" to include it.

OPTIONS

-ldirectory

Specify a directory (or a colon-separated list of directories) where to look for the .gir

XML

files that were used to generate the .typelib files that are scanned. This option is only necessary if those files are not shipped in another, architecture-dependent package.

-pdirectory

Specify a directory (or a colon-separated list of directories) where to look for the dependencies. This is useful when a dependency ships the .typelib in a private directory.

-Xitem

Exclude files that contain item anywhere in their filename from being analyzed.

private [...] List of directories where to look for typelibs and the corresponding .gir files. Useful when the package installs its typelibs in a private directory, such as /usr/lib/<package>. Library dependencies are also looked there, in case your typelib depends on a library that you ship on a private directory.

GObject introspection mini policy as of 2010-12-07.
