Sorry for not notifying you earlier; given the names on the git commits,
I thought Alberto was effectively the maintainer and you his sponsor.
Would you like to set up a maintainer-team mailing list to avoid such
problems in future? Are you still looking for help (#392266), and if so
with what?
- fgrun is a bit neglected in Debian, [...]
it's already been removed from testing for 2 years
The simgear/flightgear/fgrun set was lacking maintenance for some time,
but is now in the process of returning with a new maintainer; the
problems that got it removed from testing have been fixed, but it can't
be rebuilt yet because this bug makes libopenscenegraph-dev uninstallable.
I now see that these [reverse dependencies]
packages are 'sid only',
They're sid-only because this transition stalled for long enough for its
FTBFS bugs to trigger the autoremover. Is that an autoremover bug or a
feature?
Since the transition requested already mentions libopenscenegraph100,
but 3.2.1 is not released, I think that it's actually more risky (or
prone to more delays) if to tie the current transition to these future
ones of OSG.
The 99->100 soname bump is 3.2.0rc->3.2.0 not 3.2.0->3.2.1 and appears
to be a standard OSG release procedure (possibly intended as a "don't
use pre-releases in production" marker) rather than a real change
(https://github.com/openscenegraph/osg/commits/OpenSceneGraph-3.2?page=2, scroll
down to Jul 23), so I wouldn't _expect_ further breakage, but I agree
it's always possible. (E.g. building with --as-needed, which you do (as
recommended), is currently unreliable on ia64: #718047)
Furthermore, Alioth is now expected to be down for days
(http://lists.debian.org/debian-infrastructure-announce/2013/11/msg00001.html),
so just getting access to the 3.2.1 package might take some time.
