Subject: transition: ncurses
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: transition
I would like to start a transition for ncurses, changing the soname of
the libraries from 5 to 6. This affects a large number of packages
(about 600 of them), but should be doable almost exclusively via
binNMUs, with two exceptions:
- libcdk5 needs a sourceful upload and a rename of the library package,
neither this package nor its three reverse dependencies should be
rebuilt before that. Please see https://bugs.debian.org/892280 and
https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/auto-libcdk5.html.
- cwidget also needs a sourceful upload and either a package rename or a
shlibs bump + versioned Breaks against aptitude, please see
https://bugs.debian.org/891161 for details. Fortunately both cwidget
and aptitude currently FTBFS with libncursesw6, so there is no danger
of incompatible combinations after binNMUs.
The packages libtinfo5, libncurses5 and libncursesw5 are still built, so
only packages depending on the multilib packages and the udeb become
uninstallable and need to be rebuilt right away: grub, readline and
screen.
Apart from cwidget/aptitude, I have not noticed any ncurses related
FTBFS bugs, and the API is unchanged. However, there will certainly be
quite a few unrelated FTBFS problems, such as the recent switch to
openjdk-9 and the python3.6/python3-distutils breakage.
Suggested ben file (please check if it is correct):
title = "ncurses";
is_affected = .depends ~ /\b(lib32ncurses6|lib32ncursesw6|lib32tinfo6|lib64ncurses6|lib64ncursesw6|lib64tinfo6|libncurses6|libncursesw6|libtinfo6|libtinfo6\-udeb|lib32ncurses5|lib32ncursesw5|lib32tinfo5|lib64ncurses5|lib64tinfo5|libncurses5|libncursesw5|libtinfo5|libtinfo5\-udeb)\b/;
is_good = .depends ~ /\b(lib32ncurses6|lib32ncursesw6|lib32tinfo6|lib64ncurses6|lib64ncursesw6|lib64tinfo6|libncurses6|libncursesw6|libtinfo6|libtinfo6\-udeb)\b/;
is_bad = .depends ~ /\b(lib32ncurses5|lib32ncursesw5|lib32tinfo5|lib64ncurses5|lib64tinfo5|libncurses5|libncursesw5|libtinfo5|libtinfo5\-udeb)\b/ & ! .package ~ /\b(libncursesw5|libncurses5)\b/;
Thanks for your consideration,
Sven

I think it's all done now. The last pieces of *this* transition are gone.
