[ANNOUNCE] libgpiod v2.2-rc1

[Bartosz Golaszewski]

I've just tagged and pushed out the first release candidate for libgpiod v2.2.

It's a big release that - next to an assortment of smaller
improvements and bug-fixes - brings in a big new feature: D-Bus daemon
and command-line client together with GObject bindings to core
libgpiod.

It's in good enough shape to now focus on ironing out the creases and
make it available in the following weeks.

The tarball and git tree are in their usual places[1][2].

Well, that wasn't very good, rc1 had a build issue in the tarball. I
had to fix it up and release rc2 which now builds fine in yocto.

I'm trying to do a build without any glib related targets:

./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/local --enable-bindings-python --enable-bindings-cxx --enable-tools --enable-tests --enable-gpioset-interactive --enable-examples

but I get:

checking for glib-2.0 >= 2.50... no
configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.50) were not met:

Package 'glib-2.0', required by 'virtual:world', not found


Why is glib now required?

Cheers,
Kent.

Similarly (after commenting out the GLIB and GIO checks tripping above):

Making all in gpiosim-glib
make[3]: Entering directory '/home/pi/libgpiod/tests/gpiosim-glib'
  CC       gpiosim-glib.lo
In file included from gpiosim-glib.c:9:
gpiosim-glib.h:7:10: fatal error: gio/gio.h: No such file or directory
    7 | #include <gio/gio.h>
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~


Why is gpiosim-glib being built?  I'm not using glib.  I don't have
glib. I don't want to install glib.  But now I can't build. Yay.

Cheers,
Kent.

That wasn't the goal of course. Let me build a vm with minimal
environment and go through each build option individually.

It was the --enable-tests that pulled in glib for core tests - despite
--enable-glib not being selected.  I was able to build everything else
without glib by dropping --enable-tests.

Cheers,
Kent.

Ah, yes but it has been this way for a long time, the test harness uses GLib.

I haven't done a build for quite some time - at least none that
involved --enable-tests, so news to me.

Cheers,
Kent.
