Subject: transition: libav
Package: release.debian.org
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: transition
Severity: normal
Hi,
I'd like to schedule a transition from libav 0.7 -> libav 0.8. As this
release is ABI-compatible to 0.7, only the shlibs file has been
bumped. However, due to cleaned up header dependencies, a number of
packages in wheezy start to FTBFS.
I took http://release.debian.org/transitions/html/libav.html as basis
for the lists of packages in wheezy to rebuild. Out of 69 packages, 14
packages FTBFS because of this. These build failures have been reported
and user tagged here:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?users=siretart@tauware.de;tag=ftbfs-libav0.8
AFAIUI http://release.debian.org/transitions/, this might (or might
not?) interfere with the vtk5.8 and opencv transition.
Please tell me when its a convinent time to start this transition.
Cheers,
Reinhard

You're right, I wasn't thinking straight. It surely would be to much
work if each shlibs bump would have to be coordinated with the release
team. I'm therefore closing this bug with this email and am going to
upload to unstable with the next upstream beta release. This will
probably happen this weekend or next week.
Cheers,
Reinhard.
