Hello,
I would like to request a transition slot for openbabel (experimental ->
unstable). Current ben tracker [1] is fine.
The status of affected packages:
* Rebuilds without patching: gnome-chemistry-utils, kalzium, v-sim,
xdrawchem
* FTBFS with new openbabel: osra (#1139276, severity:serious)
Situation with osra is problematic, as the upstream uses patched
openbabel/3.0.0 and has no plans to update to openbabel/3.2.0. I do not
know the codebase well enough to patch osra myself, so I guess for the
time being it is OK to remove osra from testing. Transitioning openbabel
is important as the new version offers fixes for multiple CVEs.
Best,
Andrius
