Well the patch for boost problem is uploaded into debian (built in a
jessie chroot / against older libav that is). Such that to prevent
erroneous FTBFS attribution to earlier boost failure in the build
process. This was available since August 27th in Ubuntu, but not
uploaded into debian as I couldn't build the package in sid as it
FTBFS against libav 9.
Unfortunately I'm not familiar with libav API changes to port libavg,
I'll poke upstream about it, but at the moment I'm tagging "libavg
FTBFS against libav 9" bug with "help".
Is there a libav 9 porting guide available somewhere? Or can someone
help out with a patch to fix libav 9 FTBFS?
Also, why did libavg was removed from testing? Was it actually
blocking any removals from the archive and/or transitions? As far as I
can see all libraries that libavg binaries are linked against are
still present in sid. This haste removal seems inconsistent to me
w.r.t. how other transitions & library removals are handled by the
release team.
ps. Popcon is virtually non-existant because virtually libavg has only
been recently reintroduced in debian after having been away for a long
time.
