They should not need rebuilds *for* the gnutls13 upload. libgnutls12 is still present in testing and unstable, and gnutls13 should transition smoothly into testing without requiring rebuilds of any other packages, so there is no urgency in rebuilding anything against libgnutls13 (to my knowledge). It's true that any new uploads that build-depend on libgnutls-dev will link against libgnutls13 now, but that shouldn't be a problem. A full transition to libgnutls13 is advisable once other libs have settled down a bit. > Because of these, evo2.6 doesn't even build against unstable at the > moment. > But, I would hope to get this thing going as soon as all the right > pieces are in place, as the missing evolution 2.6 keeps the rest of > gnome 2.14 from being uploaded to unstable (gnome-panel and its > dependencies). > This (and the rest of gnome for that matter) will luckily not get > tangled up in the x11-common-transition, but the way things seems at the > moment, that will probably be over before we can go on with uploading > the new evo and friends to unstable. I'm not sure of this. I haven't done a comprehensive review of the packages currently using /usr/X11R6/bin to make sure none of these packages use GNOME libs; if any do, and if the packages are significant, a GNOME shlibs bump could still delay the xorg transition. So I would appreciate it if you would continue to hold off for a few days before uploading the new evo packages, while we put together a clearer picture. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world. vorlon@debian.org http://www.debian.org/
