OK, yes, good idea.
Done.
Ciao, Oliver Shotwell requires vala > 0.15, we have vala 0.16 in [testing] so the new shotwell is now in [community-testing] along with the updated libgevix. As soon as vala will move, shotwell will move too. [...]
When I use http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31429 to create vala, it builds vala 0.16.0, but the package says it provides "vala=0.14.2". Not sure how such a PKGBUILD must be handled. If it says it provides "vala=0.14.2" but just downloads the current version via git, then the provides-entrx is not correct. It willö then provide always the newest version. How to handle this in a package? Is the PKGBUILD http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/va/vala-git/PKGBUILD correct, or not? Does a provides-entry make any sense, if there always is the current stuff that is downloaded? If the package PKGBUILD says, that it provides vala=0.14.2, then it should only clone the git sources for that certain vala version. So I rather think the PKGBUILD is wrong here. Are there general rules how to handle this correctly? Ciao, Oliver
