Bug#968894: release.debian.org: binNMUs requests for libxcrypt "transition"
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-glibc@lists.debian.org, md@linux.it
Dear release team,
Back in December we moved libcrypt.so.1 from the libc6 package to the
libcrypt1 package, which is built from the libxcrypt source package.
libcrypt will eventually get removed from glibc upstream, this will
allow faster development independently from glibc.
As the ABI is compatible the "transition" has been transparent, libc6
depending on libcrypt1, and libc6-dev depending on libcrypt-dev.
However it would be good to rebuild the affected packages:
- They will get a direct dependency on libcrypt1. That would open the
possibility to remove the libc6 dependency on libcrypt1 in bookworm.
That would also allow to identify the affected packages to remove the
libc6-dev dependency on libcrypt-dev, or to handle a possible ABI
transition.
- They might start using additional functionalities (e.g. hashing
algorithms) provided by libcrypt1.
Many packages have already been rebuilt against libxcrypt due to source
uploads or unrelated binNMUs. We are now down to less than 80 affected
packages on amd64, so it's probably acceptable to start binNMUing them.
You will find the list below. It has been computed on amd64 only as it's
a long operation involving unpacking all the packages in the archive and
checking all the binaries they contains. As the change has been
introduced at the same time on all architectures, I believe the same
binNMUs are need for all of them, and anyway we need to keep them in
sync for multiarch libraries. Once we have been able to get all of the
packages fixed on amd64, I'll also check the other architectures to see
if some of them have been missed.
Thanks
Aurelien
