Re: libseed-list GLib.main_loop_new()

["Alan Knowles" <alan akbkhome com>]

I'm hoping that when Gtk-3.0 comes out, that everything will stabilize.

The big problem I have is that gobject-introspection communication appears to be done pretty much all on IRC, and there is no mailing list for it.. so there is no easy way to track development.

I've pretty much ended up with this workaround at present
a) use instrospection 0.9.3

b) use https://github.com/roojs/gir-1.1 

c) compile gir's to a local directory
https://github.com/roojs/app.Builder.js/blob/master/install.sh

d) modify the include path when you start the application.
imports.gi.GIRepository.IRepository.prepend_search_path(
   imports.gi.GLib.get_home_dir() + '/.Builder/girepository-1.1');

Not perfect, but it's at least a predictable enviroment.

Alan
