Change typelib name

[vdcow]

There is already closed issue #7

Currently muffin tries to solve this problem by using magic version Muffin.0. Unfortunately it satisfies Meta dependency for gnome-shell at least on Alt Linux (it uses RPM). So when you install gnome-shell on system where cinnamon is installed gnome-shell doesn't install mutter typelib as dependency.

I believe that only renaming is correct solution for this problem.

I don't see any typelib provides for mutter or muffin, can you explain the issue fully?

$ rpm -q --requires gnome-shell |grep mutter
libmutter-clutter-1.0.so()(64bit)
libmutter-cogl-pango.so()(64bit)
libmutter-cogl-path.so()(64bit)
libmutter-cogl.so()(64bit)
libmutter.so.0()(64bit)
mutter(x86-64) >= 3.23.2

$ rpm -q --provides mutter
application()
application(mutter.desktop)
libmutter-clutter-1.0.so()(64bit)
libmutter-cogl-pango.so()(64bit)
libmutter-cogl-path.so()(64bit)
libmutter-cogl.so()(64bit)
libmutter.so.0()(64bit)
libtool(/usr/lib64/mutter/libmutter-clutter-1.0.la)
libtool(/usr/lib64/mutter/libmutter-cogl-pango.la)
libtool(/usr/lib64/mutter/libmutter-cogl-path.la)
libtool(/usr/lib64/mutter/libmutter-cogl.la)
mutter = 3.23.4-1.fc26
mutter(x86-64) = 3.23.4-1.fc26

$ rpm -q --provides muffin
libmuffin.so.0()(64bit)
muffin = 3.2.1-1.fc26
muffin(x86-64) = 3.2.1-1.fc26

In Alt Linux RPM can automatically generate dependencies on *.typelib libraries. E.g.

$ rpm -ql libmutter-gir
/usr/lib64/mutter/Cally-1.0.typelib
/usr/lib64/mutter/Clutter-1.0.typelib
/usr/lib64/mutter/ClutterX11-1.0.typelib
/usr/lib64/mutter/Cogl-1.0.typelib
/usr/lib64/mutter/CoglPango-1.0.typelib
/usr/lib64/mutter/Meta-3.0.typelib

$ rpm -q --provides libmutter-gir
typelib(Cally) = 1.0
typelib(Clutter) = 1.0
typelib(ClutterX11) = 1.0
typelib(Cogl) = 1.0
typelib(CoglPango) = 1.0
typelib(Meta) = 3.0
libmutter-gir = 1:3.22.2-alt1

$ rpm -q --requires gnome-shell | grep typelib\(Meta\)
typelib(Meta)
