= Building =

in the case we need to update the vapi for yet unreleased gstreamer api, these
are the steps. Right now its enough to install the vapi file from git

== update system vapi ==
1) checkout vala from gnome git
cd vala/vapi
vala-gen-introspect gstreamer-pbutils-0.10 packages/gstreamer-pbutils-0.10
vapigen --vapidir . --library gstreamer-pbutils-0.10 packages/gstreamer-pbutils-0.10/gstreamer-pbutils-0.10.gi
git diff packages/gstreamer-pbutils-0.10/gstreamer-pbutils-0.10.metadata >vapi.gstreamer-pbutils-0.10.patch

2) install
# suse, meego
sudo cp gstreamer-pbutils-0.10.vapi /usr/share/vala/vapi/
# ubuntu
sudo cp gstreamer-pbutils-0.10.vapi /usr/share/vala-0.xxx/vapi/

== use jhbuild ==
jhbuild build vala
jhbuild shell

You might want to build these at least once:
jhbuild build gnome-themes-standard gnome-icon-theme

${jhbuild_prefix}/share/vala-0.22/vapi/
