Re: Rebuild needed for libhtml-gumbo-perl




Hi,

Le samedi 4 janvier 2025 à 20:48, gregor herrmann <gregoa@debian.org> a écrit :

What is not beautiful is that the generated runtime dependency is still "libgumbo2 (>= 0.12.3)". There seems to be some undocumented
API/ABI compatibility problem.

There is, actually. I got word from upstream (https://codeberg.org/gumbo-parser/gumbo-parser/issues/3#issuecomment-2563384), a mere couple of hours after I send you the mail, that they should indeed have bumped the major version number to signal API/ABI breakage.

In the meantime, they did bump the major version number. So I will shortly package 0.13.0, following the workflow in https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/ReleaseTeam/Transitions.

For the future: When a prepare a new release of gumbo-parser you
could test reverse dependencies and/or upload to experimental as a
first step.

This is what I usually do, for instance for the update from 0.10.x to 0.12.0. But I assumed that it was unnecessary for 0.12.0 to 0.12.3 (according to the rules of semantic versioning that upstream follows).

And I will do it now, since I now have to package 0.13.0.

Sorry again for the trouble,

Aymeric
