Status update: I now uploaded apt 1.1.2 and libept 1.1+nmu3, each fixing
some more RC bugs, and libept especially enabling building on non-Linux
architectures.
What is remaining now is the rest of libept sub-transition:
- binNMU synaptic on all architectures, except hppa (already binNMUed)
and mips64el (that just build 0.82 against the correct lib 9 hours ago)
- binNMU packagesearch everywhere (needs that second binNMU because of
the first one involved the broken libept package)
- binNMU goplay everywhere
Apart from that libept issue, the transition seems to go very
well.
