Package: gexiv2
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

Even though the upstream website [1] still lists 0.4.1 as the current
stable version, version 0.5.0 has been released as 'stable' on October
1st. [2]

Version 0.5.0 includes GObject Instrospection support, making the
package usable from Python, which is a big win. Please consider
packaging the latest stable version and enabling GI support.

I have already done this for personal use, you can find my source
package in [3]. I cannot guarantee that all my modifications are correct
or that they comply with Debian policies, but feel free to use it any
way you like.
