But if I switch to Vala 0.11 and remove the C >code, how to package it for F14? >The C code generated was for me the best solution because I don't need to >maintain several branches for each version of Vala. AFAIK other Vala projects >do the same. I think that this solution is acceptable, but there is apparently not a total agreement about that. Of course, maintaining a few branches is far from ideal. >IMHO Fedora should have several Vala packages, one for each version. Since it >seems that there is no plan for doing this, I've chosen the best compromise. >The C code is rightly there to simplify installing and packaging. The development cycle for Fedora is really short, and I think that it could be ok to either use this C code for Fedora for a while, waiting for the Vala 0.11 compatibility fixes. >Why it is not acceptable to keep it like that? Some consider the source code to be the file that a edited by a human only. A patch against the generated code would make no sense. But anyway, I think we'll keep it simple and do the following: - For Fedora 14, rebuild normally an regenerate the C code. - For Fedora > 14, use the generated C code As soon as latexila supports Vala >= 0.11, I will update these packages for Fedora > 14 to always regenerate C code. The Fedora 14 version will use the generated C code. Finally, F-14 with become EOL and we will be back to a stable situation.
