Due to an influx of spam, we have had to impose restrictions on new accounts. Please see this wiki page for instructions on how to get full permissions. Sorry for the inconvenience.
gitlab.freedesktop.org will be unavailable for up to a week starting March 16th, due to our ongoing infrastructure move. You can follow our planning tracker at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freedesktop/freedesktop/-/issues/2076
This means we can use some newer features and get rid of some boilerplate code using the G_DECLARE_* macros.
As discussed on IRC, 2.44 is old enough by now to start depending on it.
