Description Travis Reitter 2011-06-02 17:02:47 UTC 
EDS checks for valac >= 0.12.0, but it actually depends upon Vala from git master.

Build failures with stable releases of Vala include:

EDataServer-1.2.gir:0.0-0.0: error: The type name `gunichar' could not be found
and
Unknown option --metadatadir=.

There haven't been any releases in the unstable branch 0.13.x yet, but the latest git master (version 0.12.0.277-ef22c) builds the EDS vala bindings properly for me.

Travis: vala-0.13.0 has been released on 17-Jun-2011 - time to bump the dependency in e-d-s, check whether all compiles, and close as fixed?
Comment 2 Travis Reitter 2011-06-29 23:52:41 UTC 
Fix merged, on approval by Matthew:
