Bug#1003599: transition: octave
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: transition
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-octave@lists.debian.org
Dear Release Team,
Please schedule a transition for octave 6.4, which is currently in
experimental. All Octave add-ons need to be recompiled, because of a change in
the interface exposed to them.
Note that, due to an upstream change, Octave add-ons no longer explicitly link
against Octave libraries (i.e. those libraries are no longer in the ELF
DT_NEEDED section, which is not an issue since they are dynamic loadable
modules). As a consequence, we have decided to drop the (shared library)
liboctaveN package. The shared libraries are now installed in private
locations, per policy, and following upstream practice. We now exclusively rely
on pseudo-package octave-abi-NN for tracking ABI requirements.
The transition should be straightforward. Our expectation is that only one
package (nlopt) will need a sourceful upload, and we will take care of it.
Here is the Ben file (note that it’s different from the autogenerated one):
title = "octave6.4";
is_affected = .depends ~ /liboctave8|octave-abi-55|octave-abi-56/;
is_good = .depends ~ /octave-abi-56/;
is_bad = .depends ~ /liboctave8|octave-abi-55/;
Thanks,
--
