Description Johan Bilien 2010-02-01 20:26:08 UTC 
The generated .gir files were being added to the dist tarball. This is probably
wrong, and it would break make distcheck

yes, looks good.
Comment 3 Johan (not receiving bugmail) Dahlin 2010-02-01 22:45:37 UTC 
It's intentional that the girs are included in the dist, it makes it possible to just get the tarball to get the GIR, you won't have to build anything. Which is pretty useful to language bindings author who doesn't want to build the whole introspection stack.

I think the proper solution is to make sure that the path where gir files are searched for is properly set when doing distcheck.
Comment 4 Johan Bilien 2010-02-01 22:53:50 UTC 
that sounds a little broken to me, doesn't this mean you will get the gir file which matches the system of whoever built the tarball?
