Provide GIR package for libgnome-keyring

[Dmitry Shachnev]

We need a GI binding of libgnome-keyring for ubuntuone, gwibber, and others. We can't use the static python-gnomekeyring package for this as it uses python-gtk2 and also you cannot use it in programs which already use GI.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Thank you for your bug report, that package is coming from Debian so it would be nice to have the gir added there

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the issue is not a packaging one, upstream has no gir support in libgnome-keyring, there is a bug on bugzilla about that with no activity for over a year, the bug you pointed is about dbus introspection not gobject

[Dmitry Shachnev (mitya57)]

And why we used to have it in maverick?
http://packages.ubuntu.com/en/maverick/gir1.0-gnomekeyring-2.0

Also, can you point me to that bug?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the gir you point was comming from gir-repository which was a collection of static girs, nowadays the gir should be built from each sources though

see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=598414

I got this working now, and sent the patchset upstream for review.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Patches pushed upstream, backported to 3.2.2, packaged 3.2.2-2 for Debian and uploaded. Will sync into Ubuntu once it's through Debian's binNEW.
