Bug#1072755: transition: rtmidi

[IOhannes m zmoelnig <umlaeute@debian.org>]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: rtmidi@packages.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:rtmidi
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: transition

The latest upstream of RtMidi includes a soname bump of libRtMidi.
The Debian packages have updated their names accordingly.

The new RtMidi has been uploaded to experimental a while ago (last year).

I've checked reverse dependencies with 'ratt', and so far only found
problems in the following packages:
- polyphone
- octave-audio
- ft2-clone
all three fail during the dependency resolution, so we do not know whether
RtMidi causes any problems.

however, checking the RtMidi API does not show any backwards-incompatible
changes, so I do not expect any problems.
(the soname bump was obviously triggered by a class-method becoming virtual,
so the ABI changed, but not the API)

thanks in advance for a transition slot.
