./lang/vala, Compiler for the GObject type system

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]


Branch: CURRENT, Version: 0.56.17nb1, Package name: vala-0.56.17nb1, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

Vala is a programming language that aims to bring modern programming
language features to GNOME developers without imposing any additional
runtime requirements and without using a different ABI compared to
applications and libraries written in C.

valac, the Vala compiler, is a self-hosting compiler that translates
Vala source code into C source and header files. It uses the GObject
type system to create classes and interfaces declared in the Vala source
code.


Required to run:

Log message:
*: Simplify vala buildlink3.

The default DEPMETHOD for vala's bl3 is "build", so there's no point
duplicating that in each package.  Given that it is only ever a build
dependency, completely remove the indirect dependencies as they should not
be made available.  Also remove obsolete BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS settings.

Tested with a few of the affected packages.

Log message:
vala: Limit buildlink3 includes to DEPMETHOD=full.

This file is generally only included when the valac and vapigen tools are
required, and it even defaults to DEPMETHOD=build.  The library dependencies
are not required for running the tools, and this avoids a number of implicit
dependency issues.
