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.

       Note that dh_girepository will not be executed automatically by dh; you need to use "dh $@ --with gir"
       for "dh" to include it.

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.
