Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal User: release.debian....@packages.debian.org Usertags: transition
We would like to carry out a gnustep-base transition: libgnustep-base1.24 -> libgnustep-base1.25 The major change is the removal of the garbage collector which was never used in Debian anyway. Version 1.25.0-1 is in experimental, built on all arches except powerpcspe (it looks like it has some trouble catching up). We tested all reverse dependencies; there are two packages which FTBFS [1] but they have been fixed in unstable/testing so can be binNMUed with the rest. I don't expect any sourceful uploads for the rdeps. The automatically generated ben tracker looks correct to me. Ben file: title = "gnustep-base"; is_affected = .depends ~ "libgnustep-base1.24" | .depends ~ "libgnustep-base1.25"; is_good = .depends ~ "libgnustep-base1.25"; is_bad = .depends ~ "libgnustep-base1.24"; [1] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?which=tag&users=pkg-gnustep-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org&data=gnustep-base1.25-transition
