Bug#962563: transition: nettle



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

>From upstream NEWS:

The changed sonames are mainly to avoid upgrade problems with recent
GnuTLS versions, that depend on Nettle internals outside of
the advertised ABI. But also because of the removal of
internal poly1305 functions which were undocumented but
declared in an installed header file, see Interface changes
below.

I've tested rebuilding the majority of dependent packages at this point, and 
so far no failures have been due to new nettle version (haskell-nettle and 
haskell-bindings-nettle need to be investigated further), except possibly lsh-
utils, but I'm thinking about having it removed since it's been unmaintained 
more or less since nettle was spun of from it and it doesn't offer much over 
openssh.

Ben file:

title = "nettle";
is_affected = .depends ~ /\b(libhogweed6|libnettle8|libhogweed5|libnettle7)\b/
is_good = .depends ~ /\b(libhogweed6|libnettle8)\b/
is_bad = .depends ~ /\b(libhogweed5|libnettle7)\b/
