Bug#650601: transition: libpng 1.5

[Gianfranco Costamagna <costamagnagianfranco@yahoo.it>]

Hi,

I see *many* packages are failing to build because of completely unrelated reasons (e.g. insighttoolkit4 and gambas3),
and many of them needs some rebuilds to see if everything works (e.g. freetype6 rdeps).

However something like 80 packages, with many of them just needing a few tweaks (and many of them not even in testing
for other RC bugs), makes me think about going just on unstable, without splitting the transition in two parts.

Nobuhiro, what is your opinion? We are talking about something like ~50 packages to fix (about 10% of the total packages count),
I don't see the need of two transitions, and keeping both 12 and 16 at the same time on unstable.

But this is just my opinion, for sure I can help with ~10-20 packages during the VAC :)
(BTW gambas3 is right now in deferred queue, and I think it will be fixed as soon as it is accepted on unstable).

(I see Fedora probably did drop the old 12 at all, so we might even find patches on their repo if needed, but I'm unsure about this
statement, since I just quickly had a look to their repo)


cheers,

Gianfranco
