+# How to update the bindings
+
+  * Take the updated .gir files (e.g. from your gst-build checkout) and put
+    them in the gir-files directory
+  * In the gir-files directory, run ./fix.sh
+  * In the GstVideo-1.0.gir file, the `GST_VIDEO_BUFFER_FLAG_ONEFIELD` and
+    `GST_VIDEO_FRAME_FLAG_ONEFIELD` flags are twice. This is a gir bug. Delete
+    the second one.
+  * If there is a new GStreamer version: Manually update `gst*/Cargo.toml` and
+    `gst*/build.rs` files. generator.py will mess these up.
+  * Run generator.py
+  * `git checkout gst*/Cargo.toml gst*/build.rs`
+  * Investigate the diff and fix any mess-ups
