packaging pygi

[Tomeu Vizoso <tomeu vizoso collabora co uk>]

Hi all,

I think the introspection stack including pygi are in a good state now
to get more wide testing, and for that, being packaged in distros will
help a lot.

An issue has been getting pygobject built with --enable-pygi. There's
a bug present still in pygobject's HEAD that produces random errors
when running pygtk apps without having pygi installed:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=619376

The patch in that ticket is correct to the best of my knowledge, I
will be trying to get a maintainer to review it and make a new
release, will appreciate any help there.

Fedora is already building pygobject with that patch and --enable-pygi.

Anybody is aware of any other roadblocks in packaging PyGI?

Cheers,

Tomeu
