Bug-Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=829843

gnome-common did a cleanup upstream and deprecated quite a few macros
and variables.

gnome-doc-utils removal
=======================
The gnome-doc-utils build infrastructure was removed completely along
with the following macros:

 GNOME_DOC_INIT [1]
 GNOME_COMMON_INIT [2]


deprecated variables
====================
The following variables used in gnome-autogen.sh have been declared
deprecated [3]:

 REQUIRED_GNOME_DOC_UTILS_VERSION
 REQUIRED_DOC_COMMON_VERSION
 USE_COMMON_DOC_BUILD
 FORBIDDEN_M4MACROS
 GNOME2_DIR
 GNOME2_PATH
 USE_GNOME2_MACROS

deprecated macros
=================
The following macros have also been declared deprecated:

 GNOME_COMPILE_WARNINGS [4]
 GNOME_CXX_WARNINGS [5]

Upstream has documentation at [6] with how you can fix your package and
why those particular changes were made.


The following macros seem to be used in configure.ac:

./configure.ac:GNOME_COMPILE_WARNINGS([maximum])

Comment 1 Debarshi Ray 2018-10-04 14:54:14 UTC
GNOME_COMMON_INIT was removed in bug 729389 or commit 8b3ab9eebf01a89b

The reset were removed in commit 1f069d27cbf238c3. Nowadays there's even a Meson build!
