Hello mentors, I would like to get the sway window manager into unstable. Sway has a build dependency on libjson-c-dev (>=0.13). I'm trying to wrap my head around the possibilities to help out with this, but i'm not sure if i understand the dependencies correct, so i welcome any pointers to explanations and corrections: The version of libjson-c-dev sway needs is in experimental. According to #844452 the package is orphaned and there is also a transition for json-c because of api changes (#904418). There is one package that FTBS with then newer json-c (#904660), namely opensips. Am I right in thinking that the version is in experimental because of the transition and that the goal would be that all dependencies that have problems with the new version should get fixed and reuploaded? If if managed to fix that FTBS, i could do an NMU- would the transition then happen automatically or is it a manual process? To test if the transition runs without problems, i should do a rebuild of all the packages that (build-)depend on src:json-c (how would i get a list of all those, apt rdepends for all the binary packges of src:json-c?) thanks, Birger
