libtiff5 transition mass bug filing
It's been a little over a month since my announcement to debian-devel
that I would be preparing to remove the tiff3 package from debian and
asking people to switch build dependencies on libtiff4-dev to
libtiff-dev. There are 64 packages that have a version in either
testing, unstable, or experimental that have a build dependency on
libtiff4-dev. I'm about to do the mass bug filing. The text of the
mass bug filing is the following:
-----
The libtiff4-dev package is a transitional package that is going to
disappear soon. Please update your build dependency from libtiff4-dev
to libtiff-dev.
-----
At this point, libtiff4-dev has actually been an alias for libtiff5-dev
for several weeks, so this is basically a no-op for almost all
packages. I am using the user tag libtiff4-dev (with user
qjb@debian.org) to mark the bug reports.
