Your libxmlezout upload 1.06.1-7



Hi,

Your libxmlezout upload yesterday included an unco-ordinated library transition (SONAME is bumped from 1 to 2).

In 'Bits from the release team' or similar on:
 - 2013-12-26
 - 2014-05-01
 - 2014-07-05
 - 2014-09-26
it was announced, reminded, and reminded again that the window for transitions was to close on 5th September 2014. Besides being unco-ordinated, you also missed that window. You have a reverse dependency from liblog4ada.

In this case, the transition is almost self-contained since you maintain the only reverse-dependency, and it's not in testing anyway. It also appears that this should have happened when the new upstream release was uploaded, and not in -7. For this reason, I will schedule the transition as normal[1]. This is an exception, and normally we would ask you to revert your changes.

(The reason we get uppity about unco-ordinated transitions is that even if it's self-contained, we generally have to Do Things, including teaching britney about the changes.)

1: no precedent inferred, before anyone else is tempted
