We want to release 4.13.4, and make distcheck is broken on libxfce4ui when "vala" is present on the system due to the introduction of vala binding generation in commits d2be189ba145700cdba00b48c4e848dcd18d9326 and following. By reading https://cgit.freedesktop.org/accountsservice/commit/?id=17af4612e877c3a5c6bff67064d648f0eb2ea0cc , https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Vala/FAQ#Is_having_a_local_copy_of_a_.vapi_in_my_project_good_practice.3F and https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Vala/UpstreamGuide#Autotools_Integration So I propose to add --enable-vala=no in DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS (like --disable-gladeui). Patch incoming (with other small fixes for distcheck) The other solution is to remove the vala thing from the code. Same bug will be open for xfce4-panel.

Shouldn't this be marked as fixed or at least as assigned?
