Hinting suggestions, latest edition
Renders all previous editions obsolete. ;-)
==> remove ida/0.12
==> easy libpcd/1.0.1 fbi/1.28
==> easy openmotif/2.2.2-6 motv/3.88-1
ida is the linchpin which makes this such a mess. It's also a contrib extra
package, and version 0.12 is two years out of date.
The other four have been held up for waaaay too long by a complex
web of dependencies, and if you wait, they'll probably get enmeshed in more
dependencies. :-P
Once they're cleared up, new ida (0.20) can go in as soon as new curl does
(which needs 10 days and builds).
==> remove encompass/0.4.99.30-5
Allows neon & subversion in. There's a new encompass already, but
it has to wait for gtkhtml3.0 -- breaking the link is worthwhile.
==> remove iraf/2.11.3-2
See previous messages -- you might already have done this.
==> easy petsc/2.1.6-2 illuminator/0.6.9-2
The maintainer is really frustrated that these aren't in yet, after all
his hard work. And they do need to go in together, not one at a time.
According to bjorn.haxx.se, illuminator is out of date on mipsel. But
it's already built there (on Monday), and is apparently just waiting for
some buildd person to upload the file. :-P
==> remove libhydrogen/0.8.0-4
Junichi Uekawa wrote "this package is going to be removed". I don't know
if he meant from testing or from testing & unstable, but it certainly wouldn't
hurt the process to remove it from testing.
==> easy sip-qt3/3.8-2 python-qt3/3.8-3 qscinitilla/1.2-4
These need to go in together.
(This presumably won't work until qt-x11-free/3:3.2.3-2 goes in
-- see below)
==> wait for qt-x11-free/3:2.3-2 to go in
It currently needs
* two days
* a build on mipsel (it's second in the needs-build queue)
* an upload on arm (it's built but not uploaded, it seems?...)
==> somehow, complete jack-audio-connection kit 0.94 transition
Ow.
This requires:
* the removal of libhydrogen
* builds of a *lot* of packages
* waiting for new curl to go in (10 days & builds)
* some complex hint which isn't worth worrying about until the above happens
KDE depends on this mess (via alsa-lib), sadly. :-(
Hopefully thanks to Junichi's freeze there will be no new uploads of
anything in this mess (except to fix build failures or RC bugs)
until kdemultimedia gets in. :-)
