Bug#653195: transition: libarchive

[Andres Mejia <mcitadel@gmail.com>]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: transition

I am requesting a transition from libarchive1 to the latest libarchive shared
library package (which will be libarchive12). The latest libarchive version to
transition to will be libarchive-3.0.2 (soon to be uploaded to experimental).
This transition will require source changes to packages that used the following
functions from libarchive.

archive_read_data_block
archive_read_data_into_buffer
archive_read_set_format_options
archive_read_set_filter_options
archive_read_extract_set_skip_file
archive_write_set_skip_file
archive_write_data_block
archive_write_set_format_options
archive_write_set_compressor_options
archive_write_disk_set_skip_file
archive_write_disk_set_group_lookup
archive_write_disk_set_user_lookup
archive_read_disk_gname
archive_read_disk_uname
archive_read_disk_set_gname_lookup
archive_read_disk_set_uname_lookup
archive_entry_gid
archive_entry_ino
archive_entry_uid
archive_entry_set_gid
archive_entry_set_ino
archive_entry_set_uid
archive_entry_acl_add_entry
archive_entry_acl_add_entry_w
__archive_entry_acl_parse_w

All other packages can simply be binNMUed. The following packages are reverse
dependencies of libarchive1 (as found using apt-cache).

  ark
  gmameui
  tuxcmd-modules
  libtotem-plparser17
  reprepro
  rdup
  packagekit-bash-completion
  packagekit
  libpackagekit-glib2-14
  gstreamer0.10-packagekit
  browser-plugin-packagekit
  libapache2-mod-musicindex
  hydrogen
  gvfs-backends
  deb-gview
  cpio
  cmake-qt-gui
  cmake-curses-gui
  cmake
  claws-mail-archiver-plugin
  archivemount

Also, libtotem-plparser-dev is a reverse dependency on libarchive-dev.
