Description Jeremy Bicha 2017-08-13 03:57:47 UTC 
Hi, libgepub has one dependency that I know of. Every time libgepub bumps its gir version, it requires manual changes in gnome-documents for gnome-documents to build with the new version.

See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/770645 and
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/786221
Comment 1 Daniel Garcia 2017-08-14 08:17:13 UTC 
This was solved in the last commit: 

https://git.gnome.org/browse/libgepub/commit/?id=0797382cd7ac091ec04dcfe5b551c90039049c2b

Now we use the major.minor to version the API so changes in the micro component of the version number wont affect anymore.
Comment 2 Jeremy Bicha 2017-08-14 13:06:08 UTC 
Both of the bugs I linked to were about bumping the minor version (to 0.4 and then to 0.5).

Debian uses separate package names for the different gir versions. In my experience, the gir bumping that libgepub does is unusual. For instance, libgxps hasn't bumped its gir version number. https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/libgxps
