Bug#879738: transition: gnustep-base
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: transition
We would like to carry out a gnustep-base transition:
libgnustep-base1.24 -> libgnustep-base1.25
The major change is the removal of the garbage collector which was
never used in Debian anyway. Version 1.25.0-1 is in experimental,
built on all arches except powerpcspe (it looks like it has some
trouble catching up). We tested all reverse dependencies; there are
two packages which FTBFS [1] but they have been fixed in
unstable/testing so can be binNMUed with the rest.
I don't expect any sourceful uploads for the rdeps.
The automatically generated ben tracker looks correct to me.
Ben file:
title = "gnustep-base";
is_affected = .depends ~ "libgnustep-base1.24" | .depends ~ "libgnustep-base1.25";
is_good = .depends ~ "libgnustep-base1.25";
is_bad = .depends ~ "libgnustep-base1.24";
