[gmime-devel] 2.6.21 release



Hi Jeff, and other gmime folks--

thanks for the release of 2.6.21, which i see over here:

 https://download.gnome.org/sources/gmime/2.6/

the 2.6.21 tarball i fetched has the following sha256sum:

 e6f40bb3f11b71f8004e7a91d9e20b2abe3898d211d0d815c061121bbcddb54f

I had a few questions:

 * the 2.6.20 tarball includes gmime-2.6.20/gmime/GMime-2.6.metadata,
   but the 2.6.21 tarball does *not* include
   gmime-2.6.21/gmime/GMime-2.6.metadata  -- why is that?  If i build
   from the tarball directly, i see:

         GICOMP   GMime-2.6.gir
      make[5]: *** No rule to make target 'GMime-2.6.metadata', needed by 'gmime-2.6.vapi'.  Stop.

   i can pull it from the git repo, but i don't know why it isn't
   included in the tarball in the first place.  Should i be concerned?

 * the upstream source includes gmime/gmime-application-pkcs7.[ch], but
   those are not shipped in the tarball.  Are they intended to be
   shipped?  or is this code not ready for wider distribution?

 * I note that there is no tag made on the git repo for 2.6.21.  Based
   on the pattern from previous releases, this would have been tagged as
   GMIME_2_6_21.  But I think i'd asked earlier about switching the
   tagging convention to be something like gmime-2.6.21, since we're not
   using CVS any more :) Would you be up for making a public tag for the
   release?

Thanks for all the good work on gmime!
