Update gobject-introspection @1.38.0

[juanrgar (Juan R. García Blanco)]

GNOME 3.10 was released just a few days ago, and obviously not all packages in macports have been updated to match the new release. I submit this update since gobject-introspection's maintainer is nomaintainer. If any gnome guy wants to take care of this, it'll be fine too.

I have some comments on this one:

• The glibtool_path.patch is still needed, because libtool is a completely different program on OS X.
• The patch-giscanner-dumper.py-clang-is-not-msvc.patch seems to be no longer required (but this should be tested; if any build using gobject-introspection fails because --msvc-syntax shows up in the compiler arguments, it's still needed).
• The patch-giscanner-shlib.py-use-absolute-linkage-paths.patch patch is still needed.
• The patch-giscanner-utils.py-use-absolute-linkage-paths.patch patch is still needed. These two patches allow using gobject-introspection-generated .typelibs without setting DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH or DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH.
• Removing the reinplaces will break dependent ports and should probably be avoided.

Thanks for stepping up as maintainer, though; you're very welcome.

You don't need to Cc yourself if you're the reporter.

Thank you very much! I see I did quite a great job :( It compiled fine on my system and I took that as a license to remove the patches. Asap (I'm not home) I will attach a clean patch including the needed patches. Thank you ;)

Replying to juanrgar@…:

While that usually works fine, gobject-introspection is a special case, because you usually don't notice any problems until you try building other ports that use it or try to load the generated bindings in a target language.

Asap (I'm not home) I will attach a clean patch including the needed patches.

Don't worry, we're not in a particular hurry.

I've checked that the contents of patch-giscanner-dumper.py-clang-is-not-msvc.patch are already merged in gobject-introspection source code. Here's what I've done to check this works:

• Install mozjs17 (​https://trac.macports.org/ticket/40614)
• Install gobject-introspection @1.38.0
• Install gjs @1.38.1 (not available in macports repo)

Then I've run a basic gjs example and I've seen it working. I know this is not definitive though. I just uploaded this new version of the Portfile.

Looks good to me, committed in r111971.

I'll try to bring those patches into a form where they can be merged upstream and open a bug there.

Tracking upstream submit in ​https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=709583.

Thank you very much! I hope I will not disappoint the macports project ;)
