NAME

       dh_girepository - compute dependencies for GObject introspection packages

SYNOPSIS

       dh_girepository [debhelper options] [-ldirectory] [-pdirectory] [-Xitem] [private [...]]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_girepository is a debhelper program to compute dependencies for packages shipping
       GObject introspection data.

       The dependencies are generated in the ${gir:Depends} substitution variable.

OPTIONS

       -ldirectory
           Specify a directory (or a colon-separated list of directories) where to look for the
           .gir XML files that were used to generate the .typelib files that are scanned. This
           option is only necessary if those files are not shipped in another, architecture-
           dependent package.

       -pdirectory
           Specify a directory (or a colon-separated list of directories) where to look for the
           dependencies. This is useful when a dependency ships the .typelib in a private
           directory.

       -Xitem
           Exclude files that contain item anywhere in their filename from being analyzed.

       private [...] List of directories where to look for typelibs and the corresponding .gir
       files. Useful when the package installs its typelibs in a private directory, such as
       /usr/lib/<package>. Library dependencies are also looked there, in case your typelib
       depends on a library that you ship on a private directory.

CONFORMS TO

       GObject introspection mini policy as of 2010-12-07.
