Bug#670902: transition: hsqldb
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: transition
Hi,
Right now he have the following situation ragarding hsqldb in Debian
- "hsqldb" is 1.8.x, long obsolete version but still needed by LO
- hsqldb2.0 in experimental (RM bug #670885 filed, should be removed in
favour of hsqldb2.2)
- hsqldb2.2 in experimental (well, at the time of this writing in NEW)
which is upstreams supported version.
I'd like to switch that and make hsqldb make build the current one
and build a libhsqldb1.8-java out of a hsqldb1.8.
In February, I already asked all maintainers of hsqldb-using packages
whether they would be OK[1], so so far, regardless of two pings ([2],[3])
noone except Andreas Tille for debian-med answered that it would be OK for
him and breakages could be fixed quickly.
LO will obviously need a source upload to update its (build)-dependends
but otherwise the other packages don't need changes. Unfortunately
the new libhsqldb-java must conflict against libreoffice-base because
of the file format issue...
Dear RT, can I go on with this transition?
Regards,
Rene
P.S: Note that a hsqldb upload to sid where it's being 2.2.8 will
result in it being orphaned in the same upload; as noone wants to take
it over and I only care about 1.8.x (for LO)
