Bug#674587: transition: mapnik
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: transition
Hello RT,
I'm requesting to add Mapnik to the transition tracker.
Upstream released version 2.0.1 a while ago (Debian has 2.0.0 currently), which
changed SONAME back to the "old" scheme. Before 2.0.0, the library was
"libmapnik.so", afterwards it became "libmapnik2.so" -- with all the
consequences it had (package renames, binNMUs, ...)
However, this SONAME change was meant to be kept private by upstream (to ensure
co-installability on devs machines), so I need to re-transition it, and all
r-deps.
Fortunately, I had previously kept the "libmapnik-dev" package, so hopefully it
won't need too many sourceful uplods.
I can't tell whether it will be ready for wheezy (I'm still ironing out some
bugs of 2.0.1, and 2.0.2 will come out in a few weeks), but it would be nice to
have the transition tracked, at least.
is_affected = .build-depends ~ /libmapnik.*-dev/;
is_good = .depends ~ /libmapnik \(>= 2\.0\.1)//;
is_bad = .depends ~ /libmapnik2|libmapnik,|libmapnik$/;
(hope I got the regexes fine)
Thank you for your work!
David
