Hi, as some of you already know, python-apt received a new API (sometimes called 0.8 API). We intent to drop the old API for Squeeze+1, and thus ask you to upgrade your packages to use the new API. Mass bug filing --------------- On Friday, I will start reporting bugs on the packages in the Debian BTS listed below, with a patch if easily possible. All bugs will include the following information: User: deity@lists.debian.org Usertags: python-apt-0-8-api Upgrading to the new python-apt API ----------------------------------- Please see "What’s New In python-apt 0.7.100" in the documentation for information on how to update. Further API breaks ------------------ Further API breaks will be limited, but there may be some smaller ones where absolutely needed. If you find some API issues, or would like to see something renamed, please tell me before I start mass bug filing. After the Debian Squeeze release / Ubuntu Lucid release ------------------------------------------------------- The first upload after the Squeeze release will drop the old API and will get a 'Breaks' for all packages which have not been adjusted yet. All not-fixed bugs will become release critical then. The same procedure should be applied to Ubuntu, where the old API should be dropped for the 10.10 release. Responses --------- If you reply to this email, please keep deity@lists.debian.org CCed. I have also CCed ubuntu-devel-discuss, in case they want to add something; but replies should not be sent there.
