--- Begin Message ---Package: erlang-cowboy Version: 2.0.0~pre.1+dfsg1-2 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable Dear Maintainer, For some reason, erlang-cowboy source has been updated to point at Cowboy 2.0. This renders the package unusable, since Cowboy 2.0 is a backward-incompatible API rework (even the name of the "start library" function has changed). This package should be reverted to point at the latest Cowboy 1.x release, and a separate "erlang-cowboy2" package should be made to track the Cowboy 2.x releases. Furthermore, the release that this package currently points at is a 2.0 prerelease, which is missing major changes present in the latest 2.0 prerelease. So, it is not usable even by code expecting Cowboy 2.0. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.7 APT prefers oldoldstable APT policy: (500, 'oldoldstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.37.2-RX-domU-static (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages erlang-cowboy depends on: ii erlang-base 1:19.2.1+dfsg-1 ii erlang-cowlib 1.3.0-2 ii erlang-crypto 1:19.2.1+dfsg-1 ii erlang-ranch 1.2.1-3 erlang-cowboy recommends no packages. erlang-cowboy suggests no packages. -- debconf information: Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated, passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/^(.*?)(\\)?\${ <-- HERE ([^{}]+)}(.*)$/ at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Question.pm line 72.

This renders the package unusable, since Cowboy 2.0 is a The package does not seem to be unusable, I see for example the averell package which depends on erlang-cowboy and does not have any open bug. The version of the cowboy application is 2.0.0-pre.1, thus the version of the package is correct. > backward-incompatible API rework (even the name of the "start library" Debian follows the convention of bumping binary package names for major shared library ABI changes but this practice does not cover Erlang modules thus bumping the binary package name is not warranted here. > function has changed).

Debian also provides multiple versions of gcc for example in separate source packages but gcc is one of the most central and widely used packages but it is not the established practice for Erlang packages and I don't think the case for erlang-cowboy is strong enough to start shipping two variants. This pre-release was uploaded on 2015-05-05 and we are too deep in the freeze to either revert to 1.x or upload a new pre-release thus most likely Stretch will be released with the current version. After the release I will update the package to latest 2.x pre-release and will stay with stable updates in unstable. If you need a packaged erlang-cowboy for Stretch you can ask for backporting it to stretch-backports after the release.
