Dear Release Team,
I'd like to transition libgit2 after a SONAME bump.
The current "stable" release 1.8.1 introduced a const correctness change that
would require sourceful uploads for many reverse dependencies. As upstream has
pretty much immediately reverted that change in 1.8.2~rc1, I decided to save
us the trouble and go with that release.
The Python language bindings are maintained by me and transition-ready. The
Ruby bindings need two minor patches [1]. The Rust team is prepared for the
move to libgit2 1.8 with the latest rustc update; it is possible they also
need to patch for the reverted const correctness change after I updated to
1.8.2~rc1.
I've also successfully rebuilt calligra as a random test sample from the
remaining non-Rust reverse dependencies locally.
The Ben tracker at
https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/auto-libgit2.html
looks good.
Cheers
Timo
