[Muammar El Khatib <muammar@debian.org>]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: transition

Dear Release team,

I'm writing you to have your approval and advice for uploading the new upstream
version of cegui-mk2 library.

The package has the following reverse dependencies:

libcegui-mk2-0.7.6
  Reverse Depends: crystalspace (2.0+dfsg-1)
  Reverse Depends: ember (0.6.2+dfsg-2)
  Reverse Depends: libcegui-mk2-0.7.6-dbg (= 0.7.6-3)
  Reverse Depends: libcegui-mk2-dev (= 0.7.6-3)
  Reverse Depends: libcrystalspace-2.0 (2.0+dfsg-1)
  Reverse Depends: mmpong-gl (0.9.1-3)
  Reverse Depends: smc (1.9+git20121121-1+b1)
crystalspace
ember
libcegui-mk2-0.7.6-dbg
libcegui-mk2-dev
libcrystalspace-2.0
  Reverse Depends: crystalspace (= 2.0+dfsg-1)
  Reverse Depends: crystalspace-glshader-cg (>= 2.0-1)
  Reverse Depends: libcrystalspace-dbg (= 2.0+dfsg-1)
  Reverse Depends: libcrystalspace-dev (= 2.0+dfsg-1)
crystalspace-glshader-cg
libcrystalspace-dbg
libcrystalspace-dev
mmpong-gl
smc
  Reverse Depends: smc-music (>= 1.9+git20121121-1)
smc-music

I also maintain one of those reverse dependencies (smc), and the package cannot
compile against this new version of the library. When researching I have found
that some hard work from upstream is needed. I'll try to contact the developer
to see what it can be done.


With this upload I'll also close the following bugs related to other transitions:

    1) #731019
    2) #732723

I'd like to know if I could upload to unstable directly, or if rather it is
preferred to do it first to experimental to finally upload to unstable.

Best regards,
