Hi Debian-hams...
Short: I'll request removal of package 'tqsllib' from Debian
unstable
unless I hear any objections.
Long:
The TrustedQSL upstream devs recently released a new version
of tqsl
(1.14.x), now deployed in Debian testing.
Previous to this new release, the tqsl app (src pkg
'trustedqsl') relied
on a core functionality library supplied by another src pkg:
'tqsllib'
which supplied a proper API in the forms of a versioned .so
package and
a -dev package.
The tqsllib API, however, was never directly used by any
(known) ham
apps besides tqsl itself -- other apps have all used the tqsl
command
line interface instead. For this reason, the upstream tqsl
team has
abandoned maintenance of the separate tqsllib API. The new
tqsl 1.14.x
versions are now bundled with a newer version of tqsllib,
which is not
API-compatible with the old tqsllib and is not recommended for
use by
other apps. Upstream now only supports the command line
interface, and
agrees that the old library package is no longer useful.
Since no other known software depends on the old 'tqsllib'
library
package, and since upstream now recommends that it no longer
be used, I
intend to request that 'tqsllib' be removed from Debian
unstable in
about a week, barring any objections.
