Description Simon McVittie 2014-01-07 15:08:43 UTC 
Polari uses TelepathyGLib via gobject-introspection. The g-i metadata for telepathy-glib 0.x is called "TelepathyGLib-0.12" for historical reasons (0.12 was the first stable version with g-i).

telepathy-glib 1.0 is not going to be compatible with 0.x, and isn't ready for Polari to be ported yet. Source-code changes will be needed. To avoid Polari breaking if the future telepathy-glib 1.0 is installed alongside 0.x, please request 0.12 explicitly, like this:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=89093

My current aim is to make Telepathy 1.0 ready to target in "master" right after GNOME 3.12 is released (i.e. in 3.13.0). Please follow the Telepathy mailing list for details.

TelepathyGLib-1.0 will be API-incompatible, so prepare for this by
explicitly requesting the API version we are using.
