Hi,

we, Debian Xfce maintainers, would like to start uploading Xfce 4.10 to
unstable now that Wheezy has been released.

There are multiple library transitions involved, but they're mostly
self-contained in Xfce stack.

In term of source package, we have a soname bump for libxfce4util
(libxfce4util4 -> libxfce4util6) and an entangled transition for
xfce4-panel. Basically, all plugins using libxfce4panel (which is in
the binary xfce4-panel package for now) needs to be rebuilt against the
new (4.10) xfce4-panel. Even more, plugins built against 4.8 panel
won't run when 4.10 panel is installed. This is already handled with an
shlibs, all plugins in sid currently have a:

Depends: xfce4-panel (>= 4.7.7), xfce4-panel (<< 4.9)

This has already been updated in xfce4-panel 4.10 to have:

Depends: xfce4-panel (>= 4.9.2), xfce4-panel (<< 4.11)

but we basically need a binNMU and a dep-wait for all plugins once
xfce4-panel 4.10 is available in unstable.

Other than those two packages, the Xfce stack shouldn't bring any
difficulty. It's available in experimental since ages and most
complaints have been against not having plugins rebuilt against the new
panel. 

In any case, we're not against having Xfce 4.10 sitting in unstable for
a while before migrating to Jessie.

So keep us aware once it's ok to start uploading Xfce 4.10 to unstable.

Thanks in advance, and congrats for the Wheezy release.

Regards,
