Hi, I favor moving away from pre-dh7 packages and I support people pushing for it. But I am in intriguing situation with this effort. Can someone help me.
At: https://udd.debian.org/cgi-bin/autoremovals.cgi I see: Osamu Aoki <os...@debian.org> debian-history: buggy deps xdelta3, flagged for removal in 28.4 days debian-reference: buggy deps xdelta3, flagged for removal in 28.4 days maint-guide: buggy deps xdelta3, flagged for removal in 28.4 days These are all COMPAT=13 packages with d/control having: > Build-Depends: debhelper-compat (= 13) Thus, it doesn't make sense to be connected to > xdelta3: Removal of obsolete debhelper compat 5 and 6 in bookworm https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=965883 Also, these packages are not even listed in the original hit list: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2020/07/msg00065.html I have been using at least compat=8 since 2013 for 2 of these packages and compat=7 since 2010 for another. So I can't figure out why these packages are suddenly flagged. The last packaging update of debian-history was in 2021 by Bdale Garbee (not me). So this can't be caused by a silly oversight repeated by a single DD. Does any one have idea what is happening? To whom should I raise issue to avoid being removed? Or should I have to fix something? Regards, Osamu FYI: Since all these build PDF files via the TeTex tool chain, the building of these packages eats a lot of memory even though these have no big programs to build.
