libtiff transition status
Just a quick follow up to say that we're still on track here....
I see that libtiff made it into sid last night. I'll be traveling
this weekend with little or no access to email. By the time I'm back
in the area on Monday, it will have been five days since libtiff
showed up in unstable and eight days since my original email went
out. At that time, I'll plan to check on the status of the packages
that need to be updated and post the RC (serious) bug to those that
are left, as per prior arrangement.
I've already started getting messages from some maintainers who have
done uploads today and can see other progress from
packages.qa.debian.org. I've gotten a few messages from maintainers
who can't do anything yet because they depend upon libtiff both
directly and indirectly through a library that depends upon libtiff.
I am keeping this in mind and will try to do something sensible about
it such as creating a tree of dependencies showing which
libtiff-dependent packages are blocked by which other
libtiff-dependent packages, and suggesting that people may temporarily
want to subscribe to pts for packages they are waiting for. This list
may also be useful for helping to prioritize the NMUs that we can
expect will be necessary.
Hopefully we can get this all through pretty fast so this has minimal
impact on the release!
