Bug#823667: transition: poppler 0.42

[Pino Toscano <pino@debian.org>]

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

Hi,

I would like to ask a slot for a Poppler 0.42.0 transition.
Currently there is Poppler 0.42.0 in experimental already.

This transition impacts the existing poppler libraries in the following ways:
- libpoppler57 → libpoppler60

Below it is a list of sources which are touched by the transition, and their
situation, sorted by solutions:

Sources that compile fine, and can be binNMU'ed:

  boomaga
  cups-filters
  gambas3
  gdal
  gdcm
  inkscape
  ipe-tools
  libreoffice
  pdf2djvu
  pdf2htmlex
  popplerkit.framework
  texlive-bin
  texworks
  xpdf

Sources that currently FTBFS:

* calligra
    FTBFS for other reasons, not in testing already (can be ignored)

Other cases:

* derivations
    This source builds a libpoppler-based utility application which is
    only used during the build to generate other data, and no trace of
    that application are left in the resulting arch:all package.

A change in poppler-glib 0.39 is the removal of an unused enum; this so
far impacted only two sources:
  - ruby-gnome2 (#812677, fixed)
  - python-poppler (#812680)
OTOH, this issue does not directly affect the libpoppler transition.

I grouped all the bugs mentioned above (even the solved ones) with the
following usertag:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?users=pino@debian.org;tag=poppler-0.39
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?users=pino@debian.org;tag=poppler-0.40
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?users=pino@debian.org;tag=poppler-0.42

Ben file:

title = "poppler 0.42";
is_affected = .depends ~ "libpoppler57" | .depends ~ "libpoppler60";
is_good = .depends ~ "libpoppler60";
is_bad = .depends ~ "libpoppler57";

Thanks,
