Re: [gnome-db] libgda-5.0 - GI improvements and auto Vala generation

[Daniel Espinosa <esodan gmail com>]

Its my fault. Sorry.

In order to build correctly you need to apply the following patch to Gda-5.0.metadata (I missed to port modifications from 4.2.x branch).

Please apply to master.

At this point:

Can I get write access to repository? I plan to create a branch to develop some modules in Vala before to request to be merged to master.

And VERY IMPORTANT:

Master has reached 4.99.x, seems to be lasts steps to 5.0 release, at this point new features must be freeze I think, Why to add new API like GdaDataPivot? Why don't create a branch for 4.99.x to fix bugs before 5.0 and continue on master for upcoming 5.2 release?

I have no idea why, but the libgda git master build is currently broken
unless you use --disable-introspection, with either vala 0.14 or vala
from git master.

Here are the last few error messages:
