Dear Release Team,
The bobcat source package 6.09.00 introduces an API change that will
require sourceful uploads of a subset of packages that have build
dependencies on libbobcat-dev. The following packages will FTBFS once
bobcat >= 6.09.00 (currently in experimental) enters unstable:
bisonc++
c++-annotations
multispeech
ssh-cron
Once/if the transition is approved, I will file bugs against all of the
affected build r-deps and mark those packages as affected by the
transition bug. At that point, I will prepare patches and uploads for
the affected r-deps, and *then* we should be ready for the upload and
transition. Note that (3) of these will be trivial, as the upstream
author of bobcat is also the upstream author of bisonc++,
c++-annotations, and ssh-cron and has already prepared fixes as new
upstream versions.
