library renaming due to changed libstdc++ configuration
[ proposed text to send to dda, asking for feedback before sending the
message. Between the announcement to dda and the gcc uploads should
be some time (24/48h?)
]
Another round of package renamings of some libraries written in C++ is
needed. Background:
libstdc++6 is currently configured to use the mt allocator based on
discussions in April 2004 with upstream libstdc++ developers. This
configuration turned out to be a mistake (memory leaks and the
allocator is still buggy), other distributions did change back to the
new allocator (the default one) in mid-2005 (FC in July 2005). The
change does not have an effect on symbols exported from libstdc++, but
it does have an effect on symbols exported by libraries which use
containers (using an allocator) from the template headers.
The proposal by upstream is to configure libstdc++ to use the new
allocator again (the default one).
The change will remove the *mt_alloc* symbols defined in some
libraries, just by recompiling with a new compiler package. Therefore
the package names of these libraries have be changed again. The list
of libraries is attached below.
Discussion with the release team can be found at
http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2005/11/threads.html
What has to be done:
* Identify all library packages depending on libstdc++ and
exporting *mt_alloc* symbols. See below.
* Provide gcc-3.4 and gcc-4.0 packages configured using the default
(new) allocator. These packages are currently available from
http://people.debian.org/~doko/gcc-4.0/ (4.0.2-4)
http://people.debian.org/~doko/gcc-3.4/ (3.4.4-10)
* File bug reports for each library package in the list below.
* Stop uploading packages listed below, stop the buildd's building
these packages
* Upload updated gcc-3.4 and gcc-4.0 packages.
* Upgrade the buildd's to the updated gcc-3.4 and gcc-4.0 packages.
* Build new packages with the updated gcc-3.4 and gcc-4.0 packages
only.
* Rename and Rebuild the libraries listed below. The new suffix for
these packages should be in any case "c2a" (instead of "c2"). No
new suffix is needed when the soname changes in a new upstream
upload. The libfoo1c2a packages need to conflict/replace the old
libfoo1c2 package (and keep existing conflict/replaces). You can
find more details in
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2005/07/msg00001.html
* Request binNMU's for the remaining packages (listed as app below).
No new source upload is required.
