libtiff transition



Hello world.

The following will also be sent to the maintainers of the affected
packages, but as this involves a substantial percentage of the archive,
I felt it was worth sending to d-d-a first.

Now that the gcc blockage has been addressed, it's possible to get a
clearer look at what's needed to complete the libtiff transition for
sarge.  The answer is: quite a lot, really.  What follows is a summary
of the packages we know to be involved in this transition.

[Apologies for the lack of alphabetization here]

The following frozen packages need to have updated versions available in
testing:

slang
gnutls11
libgpg-error

The release team is working on addressing these quickly.


These packages are currently ready to go -- so it's important that they
*not* be reuploaded to the archive right now, lest they reset the
countdown (or get removed from sarge, depending on the importance of the
package):

tiff
gnustep-base
pantomime
gtk+2.0
libexif

If you find new RC bugs in any of the above packages, please notify
debian-release@lists.debian.org.


The following packages will most likely need to be removed from testing
temporarily to accomodate the tiff transition in a timely manner:

advi - RC bug 265212 -- but possibly downgradable
endeavour - RC bug 264236 (doesn't build w/ dash)
fbi - depends on curl, which isn't ready... and may not be distributable anyway, GPL+OpenSSL
gnobog - needs 4 more days, and depends on jadetex getting fixed
gthumb - just uploaded, needs 5 days, depends on libgnome being ready
pinball - out of date, depends on jadetex getting fixed


And the rest of these packages are also included in the transition, but
aren't ready to go into testing yet, for the various reasons listed.
They also need to be left alone, so that new uploads don't reset the
counter:

aqsis - needs one more day
autotrace - out of date on s390
cameleon - needs two days, out of date on arm, ia64, mips, s390, sparc

xzgv - out of date on arm
ygraph - out of date on alpha, arm, m68k, mips, mipsel, powerpc
zgv - needs one more day


Given the base packages that still need to be addressed to make this
happen, our best-case target date to get libtiff4 into testing is 15
Aug.  Depending on how the autobuilders do, it may take longer than
that, but it looks like two days is enough to get a good chunk of the
problem packages out of the way.

The ongoing status of this transition can be tracked at

Cheers,
