Bug#740993: transition: openconnect

[Mike Miller <mtmiller@debian.org>]

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

Dear Release Team,

I would like to request a transition slot for the openconnect package. The
upcoming version 6.00 will come with a new library soname bump to
libopenconnect.so.3. The 6.00 version has not been released yet, but I have
already packaged and uploaded the 5.99 release candidate to experimental for
testing.

The reverse dependencies are only the source packages network-manager-
openconnect and plasma-nm. Both of these will likely require sourceful uploads
to make use of the library API changes. I maintain network-manager-openconnect,
so I plan on working on the necessary changes to it next, and I will look into
what is needed for plasma-nm as well.

Ben file:

title = "openconnect";
is_affected = .depends ~ "libopenconnect2" | .depends ~ "libopenconnect3";
is_good = .depends ~ "libopenconnect3";
is_bad = .depends ~ "libopenconnect2";

Thanks.
