Hi,

I believe we should consider to have ia32-libs and friends migrate to
testing. In my perception the status is as follows.

All blocking bugs against ia32-libs have been closed. I have installed
and upgraded the package on a number of wheezy systems without trouble;
also tested it with some 3rd party apps and this yielded no problems.

A few blocking bugs against ia32-libs-gtk currently remain. The few
remaining packages this concerns have been downgraded to Recommends.
As I understood on IRC, the release team is reluctant to have library
packages converted to M-A: same at this point in the release, which is
understandable. We can therefore assume that the few remaining ones
are not going to be fixed in the short term. The package does install
and upgrade fine on various wheezy environments. We do not know if
and which external packages still depend on these few libraries.

My proposal is to go ahead with the migration of ia32-libs*. It's
unlikely that the few remains of ia32-libs-gtk will be fixed in the
short term. This is so far as I can see now a potential minor regression
for libraries in the lesser-used ia32-libs-gtk package of which it's
unknown if some 3rd party app still uses them. Migrating the packages
now allows for people to find out in time if there's still something
that may break.

I think the benefits of not including monolithic ia32-libs in wheezy
far outweigh the potential small regression. Of course, the remaining
packages can still be converted later if so desired.


Cheers,
Thijs

As the LDAP-related dependencies have now gone, I've added unblocks for
ia32-libs{,-gtk}, together with some faux packages to make the implicit
cross-arch dependencies work.

ia32-libs should be a validate candidate on Sunday night; let's see how
it goes...

Regards,

Adam
