gtk+-3.0: switch to GIR

Patch which doesn't remove vapi/packages/gtk+-3.0.  The version which does remove that directory is too big for bugzilla.
Comment 2 Luca Bruno 2014-12-19 14:09:38 UTC 
Is this the latest work for the switch to gir? Or there something more updated elsewhere?
Comment 3 Evan Nemerson 2014-12-19 18:22:57 UTC 
It's the latest version I worked on.  AFAIK Rico's work was mostly on reducing the diff from the GIDL bindings up to this, but he may have a newer version of this…
Comment 4 Luca Bruno 2014-12-21 16:28:06 UTC 
I've created a branch for the gir switch: wip/gtkgir. We can work together step by step instead of repeatedly updating this bug.

In order to avoid repeating checks, I've created this wiki page as a checklist: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Vala/Todo/GtkGir

Marking the patch in here as obsolete, the relevant changes are now in the branch.
Comment 5 Evan Nemerson 2014-12-21 17:41:33 UTC 
I don't intend to put in any work on this until bug #730744 is resolved.  Once that's fixed it shouldn't be too much work to update this patch and make the switch.
