The purpose of the flag is to enable the building of GIR for the package using dev-libs/gobject-introspection. gobject-introspection is going to be quite important in upcoming GNOME releases, allowing for the automated generation of bindings for several languages. We already have 13 packages using this flag, with several more to come. The current description being used in packages' metadata.xml sucks - I'll put something more descriptive in the final flag. Any objections? I'll wait till Wed (June 23rd) before adding this if there aren't any. Cheers! -- Arun Raghavan http://arunraghavan.net/ (Ford_Prefect | Gentoo) & (arunsr | GNOME)
