Upcoming libgpm transition
Hi,
I've just uploaded a new upstream gpm version to experimental, it
bumps the SONAME, and this is needed to fix an RC bug(s). From the
changelog:
[...]
* Debian broke ABI compatibility with upstream long time ago, the patch
got merged upstream recently but the new field was added in a different
place in the structure. With the new 1.20.3~pre3 release Debian had
to be either incompatible with previous Debian gpm versions or with
upstream again, but quite helpfully upstream bumped the SONAME.
(Closes: #412927, #470882, #473496, #476431)
- Add a new libgpm2 and libgpm-dev packages.
- Remove the libgpmg1 package.
- Make the libgpmg1-dev a dummy package to ease the transition.
[...]
This will only require binNMUs. So please tell us when it'd be fine to
upload to unstable, although it will have to leave from NEW first.
thanks.
