Bug#815153: transition: libvigraimpex

[Daniel Stender <debian@danielstender.com>]

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

Hello,

I want to register a transition of libvigraimpex[1] because there are changes
in the ABI.

The new version of the package has been uploaded to experimental now,
it's 1.10.0+git20160211.167be93-1. The new binary package of the shared library
is libvigraimpex6, and there's an SONAME bump involved)[2].

But the ABI changes are related to the package in testing (1.10.0+dfsg-11). The
package currently in unstable (1.10.0+git20160120.803d5d4-1) isn't optimal, I've
missed the ABI changes (additions but not the changes are mentioned in the
changelog) and the SONAME bump[3], that doesn't happen again.

Unfortunately the old version couldn't be reuploaded nor backported for unstable
because there was a FTBFS with updated Numpy[3], maybe you have a suggestion what
could be done here.

There are no further ABI diffs between 1.10.0+git20160120.803d5d4-1 (unstable)
and 1.10.0+git20160211.167be93-1 (the packaging of branch 1-11-rc in experimental),
and we've already test build the reverse dependencies (please see [4] on that).

However, libvigraimpex currently doesn't build on all official supported archs,
I'm on this to get solved and upload one more package in experimental soon.

Thank you,
Daniel Stender
