Re: 3.25.90 will probably be delayed

Can you attach your two versions of the .vapi? On Ubuntu 17.10 they are almost identical and would compile against either one.

Another update. Thanks to lots of help from lots of people, I'm down to
just three known build failures. (There might be more hidden behind
modules I failed to build last night, but probably not many.) Two are
easy and just need new tarballs. There is only one real problem right
now: simple-scan. Here is the build error:

../../../../releases/gnome-apps-3.25.90/simple-scan-3.25.90/src/app-window.vala:1441.95-1441.100:
error: The name `code' does not exist in the context of `Pk.Error'
                       result_text = _("Failed to install drivers
(error code %d).").printf (e.code);

                    ^^^^^^
Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)
ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.

The problem seems to be that in GNOME we have two different, competing
packagekit-glib2.vapi files: one installed by PackageKit and one
installed by vala. The one installed by vala has Error.code, but the
one installed by PackageKit seems to take precedence, and it does not
have Error.code. The two sets of bindings are really
significantly/worryingly different. I'm really not sure what to make of
this.

Since this might indicate a major issue somewhere in either the
gobject-introspection or vala stacks, I don't think we should proceed
until simple-scan is buildable.
